1. Mantle- no words
2. Rose- Compare to Stargell and you can see the iconic nature
3. Ryan- Card typically sells for 4-5x the Bench Rookie and Ryan's is a DP
4. Clemente- Him, Aaron and Mays are in the same class- except his rookie is shooting up higher faster
5. Mays- Rookie going up also- My guess is when he passes, he could jump to number two. Back in the late 70s, early 80s, him and Mantle were almost co-number 1s.
6. Aaron- Rookie going up also
7. Jackie Robinson- Forget the rookie card, you can't keep any of his cards on the market too long
8. Sandy Koufax- The poor man's super icon. His cards typically value close to the Aaron, Mays, Clemente trio
9. Derek Jeter- Newer icon whose cards dominate the UV era
10. Mike Trout- Nobody whose cards hold value as well in today's game.
