Wow, I've been gone about two months and my posts get more replies than when I was around! Maybe I need to take more time off!

1. 52 Mantle ( Just classic Americana )
2. 59 Bazooka SP's ( Very tough to find & look cool )
3. 51 Bowman Mantle & Mays ( fuel this set )
4. 63 Rose
5. 75 Brett ( this card was a must have in the late 80's )
6. 73 Schmidt ( considered a tough card pre ebay )
7. 53 Mantle ( back-up to the rookie )
8. 55 Clemente ( always something special about this card )
9. 59 Bob Gibson
10. Any 52 topps authentic card ( growing up, you would just be in awe of authentic examples found at card shows )
