Default All time baseball card team - what would yours be?

You get to pick 1 card at each player position - If the position is listed on the card front - the player has to be in that position on your "team" (example - can't use 1914 Baltimore news Ruth as an "outfield" card) - Not limited to post war. Think if you could own only 9 cards in your collection - One for a player at each position, Which 9 would they be? Think about the combination of player and card significance. I'll also allow (since it's a thread I'm starting) 3 runner ups. These can be cards you own or would want to own (I do not own any of the pictured cards.....yet - I do own other copies of some of them). Here are mine:

1st base - 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig
2nd Base - 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson
3rd base - 1968 Topps Test 3D Brooks Robinson
Shortstop - T206 Wagner
Pitcher - 1968 Venezuelan Nolan Ryan
Catcher - 1968 Kahn's Johnny Bench
Left Field - 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth
Center field - 1953 Stahl Meyer Mickey Mantle
Right Field - 1967 Topps Giant Stand up Clemente

Runner ups:
Right Field - 1958 Kahn's Weiners Clemente
Center field - 1959 Bazooka Mickey Mantle box
Center field - T3 Ty Cobb

I'll answer a little differently just to avoid a lot of repeats. Though I'm not really a rookie card collector, I will list my top RCs per position.

C - 1968 Topps Johnny Bench
1B - 1934 Goudey Hank Greenberg
2B - 1965 Topps Joe Morgan
3B - 1975 Topps George Brett
SS - 1979 OPC Ozzie Smith
OF - 1954 Topps Hank Aaron
OF - 1957 Topps Frank Robinson
OF - 1969 Topps Reggie Jackson
P - 1972 Topps JR Richard

I know my pitcher looks like he doesn't belong, but I'm a big fan of his. Plus I sold my Koufax so my only other pre-1980 pitcher RCs are Eck, Sutter, and Blyleven.

No right or wrong here. Not even anything to debate. Just another angle on sharing personal preference of card collecting - can be, but doesn't have to be cards you own. Overlap, no overlap -doesn't matter -what are/ would be your picks?

These, for me, were ones that I thought, artistically, just....wow! Not necessarily the best player or the most expensive card, just cards that have really caught my eye over the years. (I shall own that e95 Cobb someday!)

Starter: Walter Johnson t206 portrait
Catcher: 1953 Bowman color Roy Campanella
First Base: 1888 Goodwin Dan Brouthers
Second Base: 1933 Goudey Charlie Gehringer
Shortstop: t206 Wagner
Third Base: 1935 Diamond Stars Stan Hack
Right Field: 1972 Topps Roberto Clemente
Center Field: E95 Ty Cobb
Left Field: 1974 Topps Pete Rose

Runner up is '34 Goudey Greenberg

That's a good team but no Sam Crawford or Harry Heilmann?

Bobby Veach was in the conversation too. Toyed with putting Heilmann in RF, but I think Kaline was the better all-around player. Crawford and Heilmann probabaly both had better overall careers than Horton though, but they played right while Horty played left. And I was sticking to position, but if I just picked 3 OFs without regard, it'd be Cobb, Kaline, Heilmann.

Cochrane over Freehan?
Verlander, or Morris, over Newhouser?

Great as he was, Cochrane was only a Tiger for a couple years, so I didn't think he belongs on the all-time team. And there are about 5 or 6 pitchers who could carry the torch for the D, but I'm sticking with Newhouser.

He was phenomenal during the mid 40s but it seems he had an awful lot of mediocre or even bad years. From more of a distance than you, he would not be my first choice.

Default prefer no debates on this thread

Whatever is posted is personal choice - as stated in original post - it is a combination of the quality of the player and equal or more importantly the quality/desirability of the card - It's awesome to see the variation already in the number of people who have responded - great picks by all. No need to defend your picks - they are yours! Let's see some more!

I'll offer a post war team especially as we don't have many pics here. Ted is DH.
