Default Most iconic baseball card image

It was posted on a different post that the 1933 Goudey Ruth #144 is the most iconic card. I disagree. I think it’s the t206 Wagner, hands down. But why not put it to a vote. I have listed 5 iconic cards. By iconic I mean most noticeable or recognized by the population on whole- not most valuable, not best looking, but the image that would represent baseball cards if only one could be chosen for a time capsule or to show an alien, or something.

My order is:

1. T206 Wagner
2. 1952 Topps Mantle
3. T206 red Cobb portrait
4. 1933 Ruth #144
5. 1914 Cracker Jack Jackson

I think 1954 Topps Aaron, 1968 Nolan Ryan, 1989 UD Griffey, and 1987 (I think) Billy Ripken Fuck Face card could all be honorable mention
