1. Ruth RC.
2. 52 Topps Mantle.
3. Matty 1914 CJ.
4. A Shoeless Joe: e90-1 or CJ.
5. A Cobb: CJ, T206, T205, D304, T3, among several others.
6. Mantle rookie.
7. A Gehrig: Exhibit' 25, US Caramel, 33 Goudey, 34 Goudey #37
8. A Wagner portrait: e90-2, Williams, M116, W600, etc.
9. A Ted Williams - one of best hitters the gamer ever saw (54 Franks)
10. T206 Plank.

Runners up in the 11-20 Slots: A Joe D (Zeenut, 41 PB, V355, V300), Aaron RC, a Cy Young, Nolan Ryan RC, Jackie Robinson RC, 33 Nap Goudey, Leaf Satchel Paige, Willie Mays RC, A Musial, A Walter Johnson.

Matt,

Great lists, but you are going to have to find room for one of the Goudey Ruth's since they will always be sought after by virtually every collector level. Adios to the Nolan Ryan RC or Stan Musial (with all due respect to both of course)!!!!!

not sure I'd bother to include D355(niagra) as so few examples even exist.

Thanks for the assistance, guys. I love that front, and when it comes time to add it to my collection, I won't be picky. Whichever card is available. I know it will set me back a good deal, but it will be worth it.

Bill...that's a cool pose...personally I'd try to get it with one of the tougher backs...but that's just me!!!

Here's a Kotton. This is definitely in my top 10. And of the cards I own it's # 2.

beauty Mike...I love the tough front/back combo! Definitely a top 10'er in my book!

I also kinda like how his last name is misspelled!
