DJThere is no way that this list is to search for and acquire these cards. The list is about cards that have played a role in shaping the collecting society. No way did a Ewing Kalamazoo Bat card ever do so and I don't think Andy Madec is getting five hundred phone calls if this card was on the list.
This list provides a "filler" for the magazine, something fun that we can talk about and debate. No different than these Hollywood or Movie lists that come out yearly rating the top films.
It wouldn't make any sense to eliminate the Ryan, Rose and the Griffey as these cards, believe it or not, played an important role in shaping the collecting society. I'm a pre-war guy that has no use for cards like the Ryan, Rose and Griffey but totally understand their places on this list.
