Iconic non Rookie Cards

Arguably the Cobb T205 the Young E90-1 portrait. It's sort of hard to pinpoint their rookie cards but these 2 are probably better known...at least within our hobby.

A T206 card for most Hall of Famers who also have an E107 or W600.
1934 Goudey Gehrig #37.
1938 Goudey/1941 Play Ball DiMaggio.
1948 Bowman Musial.

I think there are a bunch of Cobb cards that are more iconic that whatever his rookie card is, since he has multiple ones. For example, 1914/15 Cracker Jack Cobb, T206 Cobb w/ Cobb back, or even Brunners Cobb I think are more iconic.

For Joe Jackson, I think his T210 card is more iconic even though his E90-1 rookie is very well known also.

You could probably throw in Cracker Jack for Jackson too.

In the last few years I have =been picking up some of my favorite 50's era HOF'ers...and in a lot of instances the rookie card isn't the best looking to me. Hank Aaron for example...I love the 55'! Roberte Clemente...the 56' rules...to me!
