Nice Ben, I knew you would say that. For me it is the '52 Topps Mantle for reasons already stated by many. A close 2nd would be the Walter Johnson card from T206. And to me what really brings these cards to life is listening to them tell their own stories in the audible book of "Glory of Their Times...."

The one I’m trying to sell right now had better be important to someone else!

I agree with others that the 206 Wagner is most important. Everyone knew of it(regardless if we could ever afford it) even non Collectors and every time is sold/up for auction we always followed it to see what it sold for and generated interested to many in cards and the history of older players and their records.

The Mantle is Iconic potentially more so than the Wagner but the Wagner was known for decades as the Holy Grail

I love my T cards, but would have to say the 1952 Mantle!

Default T206 Cobb
I'd vote for the T206 Cobb. Cobb was super popular and the 2 portraits were overprinted, and people hung onto those cards as you can see from pop reports on PSA/SGC (especially the red portrait). Back in 1910, kids started collecting on a more widespread basis. The success of T206 as a form of advertising led to the growth of collecting baseball cards as a hobby. The Ty Cobb cards were revered, and findable, since there were so few Wagners to find. Here's a green Cobb from my collection:
