- as great as the 50 Bowman is, I think I prefer the 51 Bowman since his name is on the front. Great card!
- open to less traditional cards... I like diversity of look and shape (eg, love my Redman Yogi Berra and my 1970 Kellogg’s Tom Seaver)

Thx for your suggestions and nominations!

Damn, that '70 Kelloggs Seaver is a beautiful card.

In my humble opinion, the '54 Bowman is nicer than any of them (even nicer than the '53 Bowman - and much less expensive). This one, graded PSA 6.5 can be had for $100. I'm also a big fan of the '52 Bowman.

The 1949 Bowman Larry Doby is, IMO, one of the most attractive Baseball cards ever regardless of the player.

It is certainly the best looking Doby issue...again IMO.

I have to agree - the 54 Bowman Doby has a really great look, the stadium in the background (which ballpark is that? Municipal?)

Nah, it's Yankee Stadium. The classic facade on the upper deck in right field and the last three letters of the Gem Razor sign are visible in the background.
