Default Pre-War Showdown: What's the most beautiful Iconic card ever?

As the graphic states, I've run polls over the past month to determine what the general consensus was for most beautiful pre-war cards in various categories. These are the finalists!

What do you consider to be the most beautiful iconic pre-war card ever? Please cast your vote, and feel free to put them in order in the comments!

Most beautiful and most iconic can be 2 different things. Personally, I think the Ruth Batting pose is most iconic, and if I had to choose from those above for best looking, it might be the Anson 162. But of course my personal fave for best looking ever is the T205 Cobb... I guess he didn't make the cut.

Well, here's another vote for Ruth as most iconic and Anson as most beautiful. If I was forced to pick one only from the selection it would be Ruth.

Hi

I am basing this only on the choices provided.

I voted for the Ruth as the most iconic. But I do not think it is the most beautiful of them I would vote for The Anson.

However, in my opinion the T206 Wagner is the most Iconic of the pre-war.

I should clarify ... when I say most beautiful iconic card, I meant the most beautiful of the iconic cards
