In the PreWar space, I concur on the CJs of Shoeless and Cobb. After those two, for iconic, maybe the 14 CJ Matty.

Perhaps the 33 Goudey Ruth #53 and the other three Ruths from the set, even over the M101, in terms of "iconic" to the broadest swath of people.

Maybe the T206 Cobbs and D304 Cobb.

As Peter said, perhaps the 41PB Joe D.

I'm a Yankee and Gehrig fan but don't think he has any cards that compete with the above in the iconic category. The 33 Goudey over the 1925 Exhibit though, in terms of "iconic."

PostWar, the 51B and 56T Mantles are pillars to many. The popular RCs are all iconic to their respective decades, i.e., Rose, Ryan, and Reggie. Schmidt and Brett. Then come the 80s guys. Canseco RR was huge. 89 Griffey. 84D Mattingly was a craze to so many boys in that era. 85 Mcgwire USA. Certainly some other images really capture that halcyon time, lol. 86TT Bo Jackson.
