Unfortunately, everyone's picks invariably come down to rookie cards. The same rookie cards. It would be nice to redo this entire thread and eliminate all Mantles and all RC's from consideration. Then we could get somewhere. But then, of course, it would become all about the high numbers from various years (1961 All Stars, 1967 Brooks Robinson, etc., immediately come to mind), so I guess there's no real solution to this dilemma.
Unless…how about the top 5 toughest non-Mantle, non-RC cards to find centered? That's a topic that would result in many, many vastly different lists.
