Is there a 3rd choice?

No 3rd choice, you will hypothetically inherit one of these...

Easy choice. The Mantle. Top 3 iconic sports cards of all time.

No, but if there was it should be a 14CJ Cobb.

Whichever one will sell for the most so I can buy something good. An obscure Wagner vs a double print postwar card is not a card that I want to keep long term.

But is a double print still really a double print if perhaps half were tossed into the ocean?

Mantle all the way.

Mantle with the choice offered. That Wagner image is used on many, many issues in one form or another. The Mantle is fairly unique to the 52 issue.

There are still thousands of Mantles available. There are lots of better choices of Ruth, Cobb, Wagner or Joe Jackson depending on the value assigned to the two cards.

+1 agree neither appeal to me. Both Great players but the particular cards make it challenging.

Default Showdown: 1910 Wagner portrait vs 1952 Topps Mick
The Mantle card is top 3 of all time, and vs. the 1910 W-UNC Wags Portrait, although rare and valuable, isn't a fair comparison. The W-UNC is cut from a notebook, and its rarity might render it unknown vs. the iconic Mantle to many. But for me, if we're talking 1910 Wagner Portraits, I'd take the 1910 Tip Top Wags Portrait vs. the Mantle. Thousands of Mantle's out there vs. much less than 100 pop for Wags.

Who made the strip card iconic? I don't like strip cards at all.

I agree Pete. That Tip Top Wagner is really nice.

My choice is the Mick. Unfortunately I have never had the privilege of owning either. Maybe one day
