I don't think I've ever known of a time while I've been alive where anyone couldn't get a 1952 Topps Mantle if they wanted one...and you know, had the money for it... That second part is important.

I agree with this. The last PSA 1 sold for 19k and it was missing a piece of the card. The one before that was 28k. Even when I bought mine in 1985, I paid 2k. The 1952 Mantle has never been affordable. It has always been a major investment like the t206 Wagner.

Not on top of the mountain like the T206 Wagner and '52 Topps Mantle clearly are, nor as valuable...but I'd submit that this card is quite important also...

Whatever card was the first card to be intentionally short printed to get people to buy more packs/cards...is/was the most important card.

The earliest short printed insert card done on purpose to inspire more purchases that I can think of off the top of my head is the chase card in the Spaulding & Merrick actress/pugilist and animal sets of 1889. We know about the redemption and which number they are, but have never seen either of the heavily short printed chase cards. There must have been baseball ones before the 1930's...

This should be the clear choice

EDIT: The pic didn't quote for some reason. It's the 1949 Leaf Jackie Robinson.

Love it and tough call but I believe it's up there as well with the aforementioned.

The most important baseball card is the next one I need to fill a hole in my PC.
