  1. I'd put Jackie Robinson or Ernie Banks instead of Burdette

  2. I agree with Alex once again. The others are great choices and thanks for including Mickey!

  3. This is probably my favorite design of the 50's. The second picture has so many good shots to choose from. There are a couple others to consider, too.

    #1 Will Harridge AL PRES - first card, only time they did league presidents
    #30 Jackie Robinson - the 2nd photo depicts him stealing home. I'll leave it at that.
    #166 Brooklyn Dodgers - the first Team Card, this would have the World Series champs from the only year they won it in Brooklyn.
    #331 Don Larsen - card for the year he pitched the WS perfect game.

    I'd rank as follows:
    1) #30 - J.Robinson
    2) #135 - M.Mantle
    3) #166 - Brooklyn
    4) #331 - D.Larsen
    5) #130 - W.Mays
    6) #1 - W. Harridge

If you want to nominate cards that you don't see on any of the posts, feel free to include them here. Up to five cards (there has to be a limit) will be added to the existing five cards when it comes time to vote.

By then, the comments will be closed for nominations, and it will be time to put everything to a vote.
