I was thinking for 1957 Topps: P-Warren Spahn C-Roy Campanella 1B-Gill Hodges 2B-Bill Mazeroski SS-Luis Aparicio 3B-Brooks Robinson OF-Ted Williams OF-Roberto Clemente OF-Hank Aaron Off the top of my head, I can't think come up with the managers who appeared in the set. Plenty of good future managers though.

I think this is the winner although 1914-15 Cracker Jack is very strong.

There are a lot of great answers on this list. I keep trying an early 50s list, but player rights issues always leave one or two players on the sidelines. That and the fact there is no hall of fame 3B until Eddie Mathews comes along. Nevertheless, here’s a shot with 1950 Bowman
P: Spahn/Feller C: Berra (or Campy) 1B: Mize 2B: Robinson SS: Appling 3B: Bob Elliott OF: Williams OF: Doby OF: Snider M: Stengel |

Speaking of Mathews, 52 Topps
C Berra or Campanella 1B Mize 2b Robinson SS Reese 3b Mathews Of Mays, mantle, Snider P Spahn, Feller, Roberts, Wynn RP Wilhelm

One more entrant from me, this from Old Judge.
C: Buck Ewing 1B: Cap Anton 2B: Bud McPhee SS: Jack Glasscock 3B: Deacon White OF: Hamilton OF: Kelly OF: Delahanty P: Nichols, Radbourn, Keefe, Clarkson, Galvin M: Harry Wright I’ve got 5 starters, but would only need 2 |

I thought of that, but had Cochrane at catcher. Grove starts--but I would never say no to Carl Hubbell. At any rate, I am sure that this squad could hold its own against any of them.

It's a technicality, but 1973 and 1976 Topps with their 'All-Time All-Stars' and 'All-Time Leaders' subsets (added to the contemporary players) gives us all we'll ever need.

1958 Topps
P Koufax C Berra 1B Musial 2B Mazeroski 3B Mathews SS Banks LF Williams CF Mays RF Clemente Unfortunately, 1958 Topps is the only set in the 40s-50s where all the stars have cards. |

1973 Topps would be another good one
P Seaver C Bench 1B Aaron 2B Morgan 3B Schmidt SS Aparicio LF Yastrzemski CF Mays RF Clemente |

This is my favorite non modern group if you lose Clemente and put Aaron in RF.

Yeah, it's a subject Rats60 and I and others have been through many times, but personally I just cannot see Clemente over Aaron. I would probably take Nellie Fox over Mazeroski too.

Aaron at a BB Show signing session. Clemente at Bradenton Field during Spring Training 1971. Our seats were near the RF foul pole. Every time Roberto came out to his field position, he would devote some time talking with us. What a gracious and friendly guy he was. GOD Bless his soul. TED Z T206 Reference . |
