If I had to choose only one card....
First,
Welcome to Net 54!
If I had to choose only one classic prewar card it would be the T206 Red Background Cobb.
This is such a classic card from the most widely collected prewar set. Depending on your budget I'd look to purchase somewhere in the G - VG/EX ($500 - $1200) range and I wouldn't be concerned about the back at all - just pick a card that 'looks nice'.
FYI...the most common backs are Piedmont and Sweet Caporal - Although Polar Bear and Sovereign are also quite common.
Other great choices are:
T206 Cobb Bat Off Pose
T206 Mathewson Portrait
T206 Cy Young Portait
T206 Johnson Portrait
T205 Mathewson
