52 Topps Mantle
T206 Wagner
1987 Fleer Jordan
1989 UD Griffey
T206 red/green Cobb (Horner image)
1933 Goudey Ruth Batting
1980 Topps Bird-Magic
1954 Aaron
1914 CJ Joe Jackson
1979 OPC Gretzky

My Baseball card collector most iconic

T206 Wagner
BN Ruth
1952 Topps Mantle
M101-4/5 Ruth
T210 Jackson
T206 red/green Cobb
1914 CJ Mathewson
T206 Plank
1933 Goudey Lajoie
1914 CJ Jackson

Honorable mention
1933 Goudey yellow Ruth
1948/9 Leaf Paige
1948/9 Robinson
1963 Rose
1968 Ryan

These lists are close to my thoughts to me the Cracker Jack Cards needs to be mentioned and Joe Jackson is widely known. and the 1989 Griffey needs to be on it because that was the .card of that Generation and in some-ways kicked off the new look. the Topps Bird/Magic Card great card not sure it is that high on the list but I can live with it
