That's a list without any surprises. I was interested in the honorable mentions, and for baseball I would argue that they missed the mark. I was expecting to see T206 Cobb, or 1933/34 Goudey Lou Gehrig, a Walter Johnson or even Joe Jackson. Anyone from that initial 1939 HOF induction ceremony could certainly have been on this list before either Derek Jeter or Nolan Ryan.
Here is the list of Honorable mentions:
1951 Mantle
1951 Mays
1954 Aaron
1916 Sporting News Babe Ruth
1968 Topps Nolan Ryan
1993 SP Derek Jeter
1935 Bronco Nagurski
1958 Topps Jim Brown
1986 Topps Jerry Rice
Rookies of Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar
1996 Topps Chrome Kobe Bryant
2003 Exquisite Lebron James
1951 Parkhurst Gordie Howe
1966 Topps Bobby Orr
