I was thinking after seeing a 1950 Bowman Jackie Robinson card about how I always liked that card more than his 1949 cards. That made me think of other cards that are more Iconic than their actual rookie cards. The two biggest known cards even outside the hobby both meet this criteria, 1952 Topps Mantle and the 1909 t206 Wagner.

For Iconic I am thinking of cards that even outside the hobby seem to recognize. Another one that made that list was 1933 Goudey Ruth cards. People within the hobby know better, but outside the hobby it is interesting how many times people ask if I have a certain player's rookie, but in the end they would be more impressed with a card the recognized.

So what are other cards that you can think of that are more recognized than the subject's "rookie" card"?
