1961 Topps #120, Ed Mathews ⭐ MLB All-Time Great
Eddie Mathews is an all-time Top 5 third baseman in MLB history.
When he entered MLB he was hailed as the next Babe Ruth.
He finished his career with 512 total home runs and won the N.L. HR title in 1957 and again in 1959.
He was a 2-time World Series Champion, in 1957, with the Braves and late in his career with the 1968 Tigers.
IMO, the 1961 Topps set has many cards where the colors appear washed out or dull.
Eddie Mathews card is not one of them, this card is vibrant.
IMO Eddie Mathews never had a "bad" card.

1961 Topps #25 Reds Heavy Artillery ⭐ Vada Pinson - Gus Bell - Frank Robinson
I'm not a huge fan of the 1961 Topps design, but they got this card 100% correct.
I'm not even a Reds fan, per se, but just look at those sick uniforms! Perfect!❤

1961 Topps #2, Roger Maris ⭐
In 1961, Roger Maris hit 61 HRs, breaking Babe Ruth's single season HR record.
He did so in dramatic fashion battling back and forth throughout the season with teammate and legendary Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle and finally swatting #61 on the final day of the season.
