1955 Bowman Don Mossi

Why couldn’t any card manufacturer ever feature Don Mossi in profile rather than in full frontal glory? Because then we’d be denied joys like this card, where Mossi himself seems to be the antenna for the TV in which he appears.

Ted Williams led a varied and fascinating life, but he liked to kick back with some serious hunting. What better time to do that than on the weekends?

1976 Topps Traded Oscar Gamble

The card whereby Oscar Gamble instantly relegated generations of Afros to the status of “afterthought.” No one before or since has made this kind of cap-defying impact with such a devil-may-care expression.
