All time baseball card team - what would yours be?

[hcv123]

You get to pick 1 card at each player position - If the position is listed on the card front - the player has to be in that position on your "team" (example - can't use 1914 Baltimore news Ruth as an "outfield" card) - Not limited to pre war. Think if you could own only 9 cards in your collection - One for a player at each position, Which 9 would they be? Think about the combination of player and card significance. I'll also allow (since it's a thread I'm starting) 3 runner ups. These can be cards you own or would want to own (I do not own any of the pictured cards.....yet - I do own other copies of some of them). Here are mine:

1st base - 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig
2nd Base - 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson
3rd base - 1968 Topps Test 3D Brooks Robinson
Shortstop - T206 Wagner
Pitcher - 1968 Venezuelan Nolan Ryan
Catcher - 1968 Kahn's Johnny Bench
Left Field - 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth
Center field - 1953 Stahl Meyer Mickey Mantle
Right Field - 1967 Topps Giant Stand up Clemente

Runner ups:
Right Field - 1958 Kahn's Weiners Clemente
Center field - 1959 Bazooka Mickey Mantle box
Center Field - T3 Ty Cobb

I’ll try to follow the rules, kinda. I made my choices based on collector’s grade cards, not registry value cards. For that reason there is no ‘52 Topps Mantle, a common card in collector’s grade.

1B: N172 Anson in Uniform (says Captain, but he was the 1st Baseman)
2B: Goudey Lajoie
SS: T206 Wagner
3B: Kalamazoo Bats Jim O’Rourke
C: Four Base Hits Kelly
OF: Topps Dice Card Mantle
OF: T206 Cobb with Cobb back
OF: T210 Jackson (No position given)
RHP: Just So Young
LHP: Baltimore News Ruth

And BTW, no one owns all of these cards
