Default Most Beautiful Baseball Card(s) in History

This has maybe been covered before, but if not …

What are some suggestions for most beautiful baseball card of all time?? Not looking for ICONIC (e.g. we might all agree that Junior looks very handsome in his ‘89 Upper Deck all-time classic, but all else being equal I don’t think many would argue it’s the most beautiful card ever produced… same goes (IMO) for ‘52 Mantle and T-206 Wagner, etc).

So what do you got? Biases absolutely welcome.

I’ll start out with a clearly biased one of my fav player / team / stadium / era (of picture), but an odd choice because I don’t love (or even like) the design, and also would tend to heavily favor vertical and action shots. But all in all, this one comes together beautifully for me (2020 Topps Series 2 #586 SSP).

This card immediately came to my mind:

1953 Bowman Pee Wee Reese



I also love these cards:

1989 Upper Deck Mark McGwire



2015 Topps Opening Day Mike Trout (Photo Variation)



2018 Topps Update Juan Soto (Independence /76)

i don't think people who grew up in a later generation, will ever appreciate just how badass Jose Canseco was, and how iconic this baseball card was/is.

2016 Stadium Club came strong with the photos. The rainbow foil makes the Calhoun card pop like no other.

You can’t beat the cards in 53 Bowman Color. The feel of the photography is unmatched.
