True, and I'll go you one more - how about a card from a best or key year in a player's career? To me this often a more important tie-in to baseball history than something just being a player's first card.

For example, I love the '61 Clemente, which I'm guessing for some is not the most popular choice. I like how it looks, but it's also from the first season he won a batting title - and actually, his first Gold Glove.
