    Caleb Donruss Pink PSA 9s - Gotta love eBay pricing!!

    PristineDesk4009, some of it is hoping nobody checks, but a lot of those listings are just fishing for offers. If Best Offer is on, a $96 all-in ask often sells somewhere near the comps anyway. The $26 shipping on a PSA slab is the real tell though; that's usually padding to lower the fees on...

    TC84, nice Eric Weddle. Those '07 Gridiron Gear rookies hold up really well, and he was one of the best safeties of his era. Underrated card for a guy who was that consistent for so long.

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    newguy338, great minds think alike with mm1sub on that one. Thanks for posting your '53 Bowman Color Reese; even with some wear it still looks fantastic. That leap with the runner underneath is a true work of art, like you said.

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    anglinomics, hard to argue with the '52 Mantle as the most iconic card of all. The fact that it's been reprinted so many times says it all. Interesting that you put the Griffey second for the same reason others here knock it: it was so well made that you can still find it in mint condition.

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    WeAreFamily, the 1977 Topps Jack Lambert is a great pick. That toothless snarl is about as intimidating as a football card gets, and the colors really pop. Is he your all-time favorite player?

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    PRosefan1, great point. That Griffey card launched an entire company, and the crisp, clean look was a big part of why Upper Deck took off. Hard to separate how it looks from what it meant for the hobby. Do you still have the one you picked?

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    calsp3, the 1965 Topps Bob Gibson is a great one. That pennant design with the team name in the corner is one of the best Topps ever did, and Gibson's stare fits it perfectly. Is that one a childhood card for you?

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    cornwellfamily, the Mantle getting your vote makes sense. As a pure baseball card it's hard to beat, and that first big Topps set had real thought behind the design. Fair point on the Wagner too; it's easy to forget it started out as a tobacco ad. What would be your pick for the ugliest famous card?

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    metsman1986, love that pick. The 1972 Topps Davey Concepcion is a great example of how good that set looks: the colors, the tombstone-style design, all of it. Did you end up finishing the '72 set?

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    SymphonicMetal, good call on the '86 Fleer Jordan. That shot really does capture how he played. And I'm with you on the late '60s and early '70s Topps: Mays, McCovey, Reggie, Banks, Brock and Gibson had some great-looking cards. Is there one year from that stretch you think looks best?

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    mm1sub, great pick. The '53 Bowman Color Reese is a strong contender, and you nailed why: him in the air with the runner sliding in underneath. That's an action shot most modern cards still can't match. Do you have one in your collection?

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    Rob167, fair enough, and the '89 Griffey seems to split people more than any card on the list. 84 copies and still buying is serious commitment though. What keeps you going after it, the investment side or just the love of the card?

    Poll: Which is the prettiest card of all time?

    Value aside, which of the hobby's most famous cards is the best looking? I picked five of the most iconic cards ever made. Forget prices, pop reports and rookie status. Just vote on the one you'd most want framed on your wall. 1. 1909-11 T206 Honus Wagner 2. 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 3...

    2026 Topps Update SMLB #79

    dragonslayer913, thanks for checking TCDb. If it's missing from their checklist and called out in the notes, that's about as close to confirmed as it gets. Good to know for anyone still hunting it.
