I like the idea of the thread, but can’t stand seeing that name up there; the only thing worse would be a picture of his goofy mug. I would buy you a drink if you revise the title to just “Mt Rushmore of Cards”
I think they would be T206 Wagner 1952 Topps Mantle 1914 Baltimore News Ruth T210 Jackson Alternates could be m101-5 Ruth and t206 Plank |

Rushmore
T206 Green Cobb belongs on that list .

Agreed; or at least some Cobb card should make the MT. Maybe the W600?

I think three of the four cards should be the T206 Wagner, 1952 Topps Mantle and the 1869 Peck & Snyder Reds.
Nothing against Hammerin' Hank and his rookie card, but I don't know how that one (over many others) got picked. Last edited by drcy; 11-12-2019 at 05:21 PM. |

This would be my personal picks at the moment and can and will change at any moment.
1981 TCMA Wade Boggs 1939 PB Ted Williams 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews T213 Red Ty Cobb interchangeable with T206 Red Ty Cobb with Old Mill back |

Remember, Mount Rushmore was trimmed.

Just give it another 20 years and the 1986 Fleer Jordan, 2003 Lebron, 2009 Mike Trout and 1952 Mantle will be the list

T206 Wagner
1914 CJ Cobb 1933 Goudey Ruth (#53) 1952 Topps Mantle If we want to limit it to rookie cards, then maybe the 1954 Aaron is in the top 4. |

Certainly a Ruth belongs so take your pick. I'd agree that T206 Cobb Green Portrait or a Cracker Jack Cobb would be a better choice than the 1954 Topps Aaron.

I agree with this list. If given one more choice, it would be the Yellow 34 Gehrig.

In my humble opinion, I believe that any kind of Mt. Rushmore dedicated to baseball must include Jackie Robinson (or in this case, a card of Jackie). There are more important things than the dollar amount collectors are currently willing to pay for a given baseball card.
So, I nominate any one of the 1947 Jackie Robinson's Bond Bread Cards.

I like this list also. My alternatives would be: "T206" Ty Cobb w/ Cobb Back 1914 Cracker Jack Christy Mathewson My thinking is that for this list a card can't be too rare (you should see a copy for sale every 2-3 years at minimum), but can't be too common either (eliminating UD Griffey). And even in poor condition, it should be worth at least a few hundred bucks. |

I’d prefer a Mount Rushmore of cards representing the best of the four major sports:
1916 M101 Babe Ruth 1935 National Chicle Bronko Nagurski 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan 1979-80 Topps/OPC Wayne Gretzky With respect to iconic and popular cards representing the four sports, you could do: 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle 1965 Topps Joe Namath 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan (yep, still on here) 1966 Topps Bobby Orr or the 1979-80 Gretzky (again)
