I have no problem with the Rose,Ryan or Griffey because while i was collecting and reading beckett all of those cards were top card for a long time.When Rose was nearing the hits record that was definitely the most popular card going at the time. Same thing for Ryan when he went for 300 wins and then set K's record,that card was on top.Griffey upper deck rookie was extremely popular for a long long time so i couldve guessed that card if i didnt see the list.I Probably wouldve guessed it 3rd behind Wagner and Mantle,that card was a big deal.

Other newer cards that owned the hobby news for a significant time while i was young were the 80 Henderson,84 donruss Mattingly,85 topps McGwire and 86 donruss Canseco

I never remember Aaron,Mays,Gehrig cards being the talk of the hobby town so to speak so while people here might think of them as more important for the last 25 years(which is as much as my age allows me to remember) they dont rank in popularity with any of those cards

If i made my own list the 52 Mantle would be the newest card on it but i agree with their later inclusions just for symmetry
