Nearly all the cards listed in the poll are iconic. I had not checked out this thread before, but I went with the '86 Fleer Jordan. A PSA 10 of the Jordan card is a $14-15K card, despite the fact that there are nearly 10 times as many PSA 10s of the Jordan card as there are of Mikan in 8 or above. "Best" is such a vague term, but I think Jordan card is the most iconic basketball card of all-time.

In the era of huge overproduction, it is amazing to me what the Jordan '86 Fleer card sells for at auction. But that is due to demand. There are over 200 PSA 10s of the Jordan card out there, and it is still a $14-15K card.

The assertion that the '86 Fleer Jordan is comparable to the Upper Deck Griffey doesn't seem to work at all, IMO. A PSA 9 of the Griffey card can be had for under $45 and a PSA 8 of that card can be had for under $25.
