I would have to say:

52 Topps Mantle
56 Topps Mantle (action shot with several fans added twice to background)
54 Red Heart
51 Bowman and..
70's Clinic Schedule PC

Ok, so some say the PC's are not really cards....but it looks neat.

1953 Topps (a work of art on cardboard)

1952 Bowman (visual appeal is better than its Topps counterpart)

1954 Dan Dee (for some reason, I just like this card a lot. It has the
best pic of a smiling Mick in the hobby. Plus, just knowing the card came out
of a bag of potato chips makes it instantly cool)

1959 Topps (classic portrait against a bold red background. It's hard to
put it in words, but this card just has that classic, vintage look. On this card,
his last of the 50's, Mickey is starting to less like the kid from Commerce, and
more like a veteran Yankee legend)

1952 Topps (I suppose no list would be complete without this card, and I'd
some day love to add a nice VG-EX copy to my collection. Some day....)
