I don't think the Pujols is an iconic card. Yeah, it's an important card, but the Griffey UD transcended the hobby. The first card of the first UD set, Griffey with his big smile and his great decade that followed. The card is affordable enough and widely available to anyone who wants one, as opposed to the Pujols only having 500 copies (and not all 500 were redeemed), some fakes out there, and a very high pricetag. Plus I think with many people viewing Griffey as one of the few clean players during the steroid era, I just think that there is no way you can compare Pujols to Griffey. I don't think the Pujols Bowman Chrome could ever hold a candle to the Griffey.
