It's the details that kill you in this hobby. That is the rookie Ruth I was referring to. I guess for me, it would be #1.

Globally, your #1 is probably accurate, but from there it goes by taste. On a pre-WW2 vintage board, you'd probably not get overwhelming support for the '52 Topps Mantle being the #2 desirable card. It being the second most recognized globally might be a different discussion, though.

Truth be told, if I had a T206 Wagner, I'd sell it because it is so universally acclaimed in order to get cards that are more desirable to me. My point is that desirability is a personal choice. So, the question really is, "What is your #3?"

I agree! I am imagining by selling a T206 Wagner I would be able to finish off all of my sets/upgrades, and have plenty of money left over to start a couple more projects that I've always wanted to.

1989 Fleer Billy Ripken "F Face" card?

Seriously, though, I'd probably have to agree with many others and go with the 1933 Goudey Lajoie.

1990 Topps Frank Thomas NNOF!

But seriously, it has to be the T206 Plank. I'd even take a Plankenstein.

If I had a Wagner I would sell it, buy a Plank and both Mantle Rc's and every Chief Bender I could get my hands on.

I really meant this post to be "WHAT IS THE UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED NUMBER THREE CARD?" but it turned into more of a personal thing, which is very cool.

I think my personal #3 would be a '34 Goudey Gehrig. It's not rare, but I just love it:

The Baltimore News Ruth is his, usually much preferred, prookie card.
