Ed Walsh should get some love here. I love his CJ card, his T205 and 206 cards are cool. The two E90 poses are okay and you’ve got T3, M101-4/5 and him happy as all get out on his E98 card.

Christy's T205 catapults him into the top 2 or 3 of this list without a doubt.

Since this poll is a 2-horse race between Christy Mathewson and Ty Cobb, I thought it might be interesting to compare some of their cards side-by-side.

Of course each player has many other amazing cards.

I didn't include their T206, or T205, T202, or Cracker Jack since people tend to be so familiar with those.

If I actually spent the time to compile such a top 100 list of aesthetic quality, I wouldn't be all that surprised if it turned out that there aren't any players who appear on more than 1 of the 100 most attractive cards, but my best guess is Ty Cobb.

Ty is currently topping the poll, and I believe it mostly because of his W512 and W515 cards.

If I were to rank my top 3 from the poll list, this would be my order:

Lajoie
Mathewson
Cobb

Brian (not my Cobbs...icky!)
