I've tallied the votes from the earlier thread. The baseball cards that were voted as most iconic are (in chronological order):

T206 Honus Wagner
T206 Eddie Plank
E90-1 Joe Jackson
"T206" Cobb/Cobb
Baltimore News Babe Ruth
1914, 1915 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson
M101-5, M101-4 Babe Ruth
"1933" Goudey Nap Lajoie
1952 Topps Mickey Mantle

What I'd like to gauge now is how many times each of these cards has been offered for auction over, say, the past 10 years. Mantle I would guess is well into the hundreds, even if we ignore eBay (I see 127 of them just at Heritage), while the BN Ruth is still in the single digits. Are these data easy to pull from VCP? (I don't have a membership, so feel free to tell me to "go get a job, ya bum.") If not, I guess what I'd like to go by are completed sales in the various auction house databases. And for that I'd like to ask people what they consider the top 5-10 auction houses for these types of cards. REA and Heritage of course, but then who? (Let's omit Legendary.)

Incidentally, has there ever been a collector with a complete set of these cards?
