Your Favorite Card That Never Was

[scmavl]

David's post about famous non-Rookie cards got me thinking. What is the one card that was never made that you wish you could have?
'52 Topps Satchel Paige?
'54 Topps Mantle?

I think I would have to go with a '57 Topps Harmon Killebrew. Here is a mock-up of what one could've looked like:



What would yours be?

Well, in a way the '54 Topps Mantle was made. At least as part of the 2nd issue of Sports Illustrated. I would personally like to pick up both the full issue with the sheet, but also wouldn't mind a cut-out single of the Mantle too, if I can find a legit one...

As far as cards that were never made, I would've loved to have seen a Musial in just about any Topps set. A '52 Topps Joe Dimaggio would've been awesome. And of course I'm gonna go the rookie card route too. A '51 Red or Blue back of Mantle and Mays would've been nice to see as well. Possibly even a '48 Bowman of Jackie Robinson or Larry Doby. I'm honestly surprised that Jackie wasn't in the '48 Bowman.

I agree with both of you guys. A 57 Killebrew and any Topps Musial card
from 52 to 58 would be great to see. My number one dream would be a 1957 or 58 Musial/Ted Williams combo card named something like "Pitcher's Nightmare". Also a Mantle,Mays and Snider together maybe called "The Center of New York" would be a dream card.

Here's a few of my missing cards.....1952 Topps Satchel Paige......1952 Topps Ted Williams......1955 Topps Roger Maris......1966 Topps Steve Carlton.....1967 Topps Warren Spahn. I am a bit partial to the Tulsa Oilers.

Since I am working on the '54 set, I have to go with the '54 Mantle. How sweet would that have been?

Here's some cool looking non 1954 Topps...

Very nice, how do you make those?

A few that immediately come to mind..

1953 Topps Duke Snider
1954 Topps Mickey Mantle
1955 Topps Pee Wee Reese
1956 Topps Stan Musial

I like the idea of a Duke/Mickey/Mays card, too. The other day I was thinking it'd have been cool if Mays was issued in the '54 Red Heart set.
