The list from the Athletic (which is mostly listed above -- except it has the T206 Cobb when the list actually includes the T3 Cobb)... was multi-sport and tilted heavily towards baseball it actually had certain criteria and a was assembled by a panel.. Its a good site but I didn't post the link to get them subscribers.
Anyway My "iconics" are based on the image of the card as well as the meaning and importance of the card ... I didn't have very many recent cards either -- I guess they aren't iconic to me yet although I almost put that Score Bo Jackson card on the list. Baseball N172 Ewing w Mascott T206 Wagner (Honus not Heinie) T205 Mathewson T202 Cobb/Jennings (classic Conlon photo in the middle) 14-15 CJ Jackson 52 Topps Mantle 33 Goudey Ruth 34 Goudey Gehrig (Portrait) 33-34 Lajoie 39 PB Williams 41 PB DiMaggio 48 Bomwan Musial 52 Topps Mantle and Mays (much much better looking than the 51 Bowmans) 53 Bowman Reese (this is just the most beautiful card) 53 Topps Jackie Robinson 54 Topps H. Aaron 55 Topps R Clemente 68 Koosman/Ryan 89 UD Griffey --- Football: 33 Sport Kings Jim Thorpe 35 Chicle Bronko Nagurski 55 Topps All-Americans Four Horsemen (Great Set) 58 Topps Jim Brown 65 Namath (tall) 76 Topps Payton (sweetness smiling) I assume that there is some Brady card out there? -- Hoops 48 Mikan 57 Russell 61 Wilt 69 Alcindor (long tall boy) RC 76 Topps Dr J (Great image and really big card... I love this set) 80-81 Bird/Johnson/Erving 84 Star MJ 86 Fleer MJ (yes MJ gets 2 cards!) UD #1 Shaq RC (great shot of a slim Shaq dunking) ----- Hockey (I don't know as much about Hockey so my decisions are dubious) Gordie Howe "Mr. Hockey" ,54-55 Topps (his rookie is this awful little Parkhurst card from '51 ... I guess if I were a real Hockey person it would be "iconic" but I've always liked the Topps card that's colorful and bright and says "Mr. Hockey") Orr RC -- looks like a 55 bowman to me ... I think there is a tall boy that came out a year or two later that's kinda cool too? Gretzky OPC RC Also: T9 Jack Johnson 1997-98 Grand Slam Ventures Tiger Woods |
