Here's a post-war "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" thread that didn't get too much traction, but it follows the same theme with regards to specific players...

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

You did all the work and still it didn't go that far.

If you're not talking about graded cards or card graders, or "the National", or if you aren't in the clique, it seems that threads go nowhere around here anymore.

Always enjoyed the '50 Bowman (football as well). Though there are naturally so many amazing examples from pre and early post war.

On the other side, the '48 Leaf is awful

Agree with the OP on those earlier Mantles. He could have his own good bad and ugly post.

The good



I never understood why this card doesn't get more love. It is his rookie card and an example of good artwork. Along with the 1953 Bowman and 1965 Topps, his best looking cards in my opinion.

The bad

1953 Topps is just bad artwork. Most of the cards in the set are poor representations of the subjects and amatuerish in my opinion.

The ugly

The 1952 Topps is just plain ugly. Giving Mantle a yellow bat makes no sense to me. Also another weak Topps design.

I was actually surprised to not see a 1951 Bowman Paul Richards mentioned in anything.
