Most of us will never own a Wagner or Plank, hence my using "top 12" and "top 22" in order to find the top 10 and top 20 players that most collectors have access to.

I feel pretty confident that these are the top 10 best players in the t206 set:

Cobb
Wagner
Johnson
Young
Mathewson
Speaker
E. Collins
Lajoie
Crawford
Plank

After that, I'm not sure who the next 2 members of the top 12 would be.

Here are my contenders for those last two spots in the top 12:

Brown
McGinnity
Joss
Keeler
Walsh
Davis
Baker

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to try and work together to figure out a consensus top 12 and top 22 lists, and then maybe see some group shots of people's collections. For the purposes of this debate, I think "best players" should be a combination of career stats, longevity and skill level.
