Complete Topps 60 Greatest Cards of All-Time List
Yesterday, Topps announced the final final six cards from their fan voted "Topps 60 Greatest Cards of All-Time" list. Below is a complete look at each and every card from the countdown, from Mike Schmidt at #60 all the way down to the legendary '52 Mantle at #1.
#60 - 1973 Rookie Third Baseman
#58 - 1974 Dave Winfield (ERROR/Washington Padres)
#56 - 2007 Derek Jeter (With Mantle and Bush)
#53 - 1987 Greg Maddux (Topps Traded)
#50 - 1967 Rookie Stars Denehy/Seaver
#37 - 2001 Albert Pujols (Topps Traded)
#29 - 1963 Rookie Stars (Pete Rose)
#28 - 1982 Future Stars (Ripken)
#12 - 1982 Cal Ripken Jr. (Topps Traded)
#8 - 1986 Bo Jackson (Topps Traded)
#5 - 1989 Ken Griffey Jr. (Topps Traded)
#4 - 1968 Rookie Stars (Koosman/Ryan)
The list is filled with plenty of great cards, but at the same time there are some extremely questionable appearances, especially cards like the 1987 Topps Mark McGwire, it feels like there's a few too many steroid guys on the list. It would have also been nice if each player was limited to 1 or 2 appearances. What are your final thoughts on the list? Below are a handful of cards I would have liked to have seen make the list.
-
1955 Harmon Killebrew
- 1957 Frank Robinson
- 1967 or 1968 Rod Carew (the '68 is one of my favorite vintage cards)
- 1957 Brooks Robinson
- 1952 Andy Pafko (possibly the most glaring omission)
- 1978 Paul Molitor
- 1976 Dennis Eckersley
- 1960 Willie McCovey
- 1968 or 1969 Johnny Bench (the '69 Bench is one of my favorite vintage cards)

hmmmm
How can you argue if this was fan voted. 56 mantle is one of my favs and the 64 rose rightly better than his 63 rc. Love the team logos on the 50’s cards and topps colorful designs in 50/60’s. FUN!
