Though certainly nothing against the card; it's fantastic and I'll never own one in a million years - but I don't really see how the Baltimore News Ruth can be called "iconic."
It's just so scarce - what are there like 10 known copies in the world? I had never even seen a picture of that card until I was an adult in the hobby - well more than 20 years after I started collecting. Don't get me wrong, I'd be fine with calling one of the Goudey Ruth's iconic, or maybe even the M101. But I just can't get there with the BN. Just because a card is uber expensive doesn't necessarily mean it's the most well known or iconic. Just my 2 cents.
