I feel like I only saw one mention of the Billy FF card. That needs to be on there. That's one that many non-collectors would remember! If you had tried creating this list 35 years ago, I could see the whiteout and black box trying to vie for space on the list as well! It was that big a deal at the time. This card, in all its variations, seemed like it was was all the talk of the hobby and non-hobby world for a year or two. In a similar vein, I'm kinda glad nobody mentioned the Dale Murphy rev neg.

And this site introduced me to the Randy Johnson Marlboro -- like the Ripken, a bizarre correction history, but certainly not iconic. There is a 6-year-long thread with 520+ replies on here though.
