To me the most iconic modern set is 2001 Bowman Chrome. This was the first set with autographed rookie cards. Something that has become a centerpiece of the modern hobby. Vintage collectors are now chasing autographs on vintage rookie cards and even though the new BC cards are no longer considered RCs, they are still one of the most valuable cards of that player. Just look at the prices that Mike Trout's 2009 BC Autograph cards are selling for.
