Topps 60 Best Cards...#46-59!!!

After days of leaving us in the dark as to what followed the Mike Schmidt rookie card, announced as card #60 on the countdown, Topps has finally updated the site to show the next 14 cards (two weeks worth of announcements). To save time (and repeated downloading), here are card #'s 46-59 "on Topps 60 Greatest Cards of All Time":
  • #59: 1983 Topps #498 Wade Boggs Rookie Card
  • #58: 1974 Topps #456 Dave Winfield Rookie Card
  • #57: 1958 Topps #47 Roger Maris Rookie Card
  • #56: 2007 Topps #40 Derek Jeter (with George W. Bush/Mickey Mantle)
  • #55: 1956 Topps #135 Mickey Mantle (the first of what should be many on this countdown)
  • #54: 1989 Topps #647 Randy Johnson Rookie Card
  • #53: 1987 Topps Traded #70T Greg Maddux Rookie Card
  • #52: 1992 Topps #156 Manny Ramirez Draft Pick
  • #51: 1959 Topps #514 Bob Gibson Rookie Card
  • #50: 1967 Topps #581 Bill Denehy/Tom Seaver 1967 Mets Rookie Stars
  • #49: 1956 Topps #79 Sandy Koufax
  • #48: 1955 Topps #50 Jackie Robinson
  • #47: 1956 Topps #5 Ted Williams
  • #46: 1953 Topps #244 Willie Mays
Comments: Lots of rookie cards among the fourteen announced. Very surprised about the Johnson card ranking this high in the first place. Maybe there were fans of 1989 Topps running up the vote totals. Hopefully this means that Topps will now showcase their results one card a a time going forward.

    I have already vowed on my blog to rip the '89 Johnson card into as many pieces as I can if I pull it (and I'm sure I will).

    It's not even in the top 1,000 cards of all-time.

    I agree with Night Owl on the Johnson card. I can almost see the McGwire 1987 card (I'm sure the 1985 one will be on the list), but the 1989 Topps Johnson? Give me a break!

    1955 Mantle?

    He wasn't in that set.

I love comments. Please leave comments!!! (Ego, hush). Just keep your words clean (I show my kids this stuff), and the comment will be accepted.

If you must leave a comment anonymously, that's fine too. Although I wish you wouldn't. I'd like to get to know the people who actually read this humble little blog.

Thank you very much.
