The Ruth 144 has always been a favorite of mine. As a kid I had never even seen a picture of a Ruth RC, but I had seen the Goudey. While not his most iconic card, it's his most iconic image on a card in my opinion, and the first prewar card i ever bought.
I may be in the minority on this, as I often am around here, but I'm not a fan of the 34 Gehrig. I think I the 33 is a much better looking card.

I am also not a fan of the yellow Gehrig. I much prefer the 1933. The other four cards are beautiful.

My opinion of the best looking vintage card might be this one. How can anyone not love the colors and lithography on this card? The poll was rigged and there were hanging chads!

A lot of good points made on here. And yes, to me, iconic and beautiful mean two completely different things. For example, the 52' Topps Mantle is both iconic and beautiful. The 1951 Parkhurst Gordie Howe is iconic (in Canada), but very ugly!
 Now, the Anson and Kelly cards are beautiful, but definitely not iconic. The Goudey Ruth (batting pose) is iconic, but I wouldn't call it beautiful. However, I think the red and yellow Goudey Ruths are both iconic and beautiful!
