Top Ten Icons in the "Topps era"...1952 to present?

[con40]

Your list is good except that it seems to end around 1985.

Somehow, George Brett and Derek Jeter have to be on there.

I don't understand the question.

1. Mantle
2. Aaron
3. Clemente
4. Ryan
5. Rose
6. Koufax
7. Mays
8. Reggie
9. Maris
10. Jeter

Going by card demands nothing else. Better players than Maris but few with more demand. Left out Musial and Williams; Ted to many big issues prewar Musial not enough topps issues.

Steroids really did a lot of damage.
I was trying to quickly come up with anybody else other than the two you mentioned and I only get Pedro Martinez.
One could argue Pedro Martinez could replace Koufax in the future.Think about how historians might look back on how Pedro dominated in the steroids era.
Any thoughts?
