No specific order, obviously rookies seem to be most important to me...Sorry, 13 was about as low as I could go with this list...

1982 Topps Traded Ripken
1963 Topps Pete Rose
1954 Topps Henry Aaron
1951 Bowman Willie Mays
1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle
1949 Leaf Satchel Paige
1949 Leaf Jackie Robinson
1957 Topps Brooks Robinson
1958 Topps Roger Maris
1948 Bowman Stan Musial
1952 Topps Eddie Matthews
1955 Topps Roberto Clemente
1968 Topps Ryan/Koosman

The only cards on this list that I have are the Ripken, Brooks and Maris..If I wasn't so rookie minded, I'd probably also add the '54 bowman Ted Williams(which I also have).

That's okay, when I made my list it originally had 15 cards and I posted the question!

My top 10 based on how they impacted the hobby since I started collecting as a teenager in the 80's and having a small card shop in the late 80's.

1 - 63 Topps Rose - really got the rookie card craze going
2 - 52 Topps Mantle - Despite being fairly available if you have the money it is a
legendary card.
3 - 68 Topps Ryan/Koosman - everyone had to have one
4 - 82 T/F/D Ripken rookies - were smoking hot for a long time
5 - 89 UD Griffey - changed the card hobby from a quality standpoint
6 - 73 Topps Schmidt - High number, off centered, pre internet this was a tough card

7 - 51 Bowman Mantle - the true rookie, somehow lost in the shuffle
8 - 90 Leaf Frank Thomas
9 - 93 Jeter rookies - these went like candy at card shows
10- 85 Topps McGwire - I sold these at a card show in 98 and made a killing
