The color and pose of #181 has been my favorite since I was about 13 years old , almost 30 years ago!

In order my favorites are 181, 149, 53 and 144. Not a fan of the batting pose because his face is so small, although agree it is a very iconic card.

I like 144. Love the colors and it is one of the first more expensive cards I purchased. Still remember the shaking hands as I handed over the cash at the Chicago national in 2013. Will always be one of my favorites. Definitely can’t go wrong with any of them. It is George after all!

Toss up between 53 and 181 ....
Why the brown hat on 181? If that was a Yankee blue, 181 would win hands down

Have to agree, Neal, and you beat me to it. I also wondered why the artist chose to go with brown on the 181. I do like the look on his face and the way he's holding the bat, though. It's also a bit odd that the 144 card with a tiny hat has the NY logo, while the 53 and 149 just have a plain blue hat with no Yankees logo.
Regarding the original question, I think it's tough to label one as the most iconic. Any one of them would be considered iconic in the hobby, so your best bet as a collector would be to choose the one you like the best and go for it. Last edited by CW; 09-24-2017 at 07:53 PM.
