2. The list that all types of collectors can identify with (even if you abhor modern, you'd have to make some obvious concessions)
3. The list that pre-1980 vintage collectors can identify with, to include any pre-1980 card
4. The list that pre-war collectors can identify with, to include pre-war cards only.

Responding to #1, I don't think Baltimore Ruth could be on that list. I don't think I'd include it on my list, and I know what it is. It doesn't get the same publicity of the T206 Wagner or 52 Mantle, or even his own Goudey cards when it's not at auction. But I also think non-collectors could name 10 players rather than cards. Wagner, Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Mantle, Griffey, Ohtani would likely be universal. Maybe includes Aaron, Bonds, Gehrig, Dimaggio, Mays, Ryan, Trout, Judge.
