Third year Jackie Robinson card(and not as rare as his cards from previous years) and Leaf was as much a regional issue as Swell and Bond cards. Not a visually attractive card either.

So, the Leaf card is not his rookie card, not rare, and not visually appealing.
What makes it iconic other than being iconically mistaken as his rookie card and iconically being mistaken as being made in 1948? Without those iconic mistakes pounded into people's heads, it wouldn't sniff the list.

Third year Jordan card(and not as rare as his Star Co. cards). This card is quite attractive.

Jerome Walton was a big card deal, but did Upper Deck set up extra printings of just his card to cash in? Griffey was the #1 card even then. Just not by the margin it is today

PSA POP reports are not reflective whatsoever of popularity in 1989.

My favorite card of all time. Gorgeous. To each his own I guess.
