You can have one post-war Ted Williams card...

[paulcarek]

...which do you choose?

I currently have a 1954 Bowman Williams (SGC 30), and am trying to decide whether to slightly upgrade it, or go for a higher-graded example of, say, 1954 Topps #250, which I consider to be a nicer-looking card. For the purposes of this exercise, let's assume the answer can't be "Have them both." Oh, and the Wilson Franks is almost certainly out of my price range.

Would love to hear what you guys think. Thanks in advance for the input!

I have his '39 Playball. It's my type for the set and is a leftover from when I collected HOF rookies....If I wanted his "best looking" card I am not sure what it would be...

ps...ok, so I missed the part about post-war......sorry about that.....

I like the 56 Topps

I'm partial to the 1950-51 Bowman cards of Ted. The '54 Bowman has a great story behind it, but the card itself doesn't look like much. I like the '39 Play Ball best, but I won't pay a penny extra for a rookie card, so I'll probably never own it ...

I'm with you Chris; have always loved the 1951 Bowman card. After that one, he vanished for a couple of seasons, which we kids struggled to comprehend as his devotion to military service. The '54 cards were kind of a letdown, in that the Bowman quickly disappeared, and the two Topps issues were rather pedestrian as cards go and seemed like just the great guy's cynical attempt to cash in with the card company. That '51 Bowman was a blazer though.

I think his 51 Bowman is his best looking card for sure. But if I could only have one of his cards it would certainly be his 54 Bowman for obvious reasons. Sorry if that's sort of typical but it's the truth.

I do need his 1954 Topps #250 though.

My favorite bar-none is the 1970 Topps Williams. One of my best cards for a long time. Funny how 1969, 1970, and 1971 Topps Williams look like they were filmed on the same day. Also like 51 Bowman. Cheers
