I agree with this list. If given one more choice, it would be the Yellow 34 Gehrig.

In my humble opinion, I believe that any kind of Mt. Rushmore dedicated to baseball must include Jackie Robinson (or in this case, a card of Jackie). There are more important things than the dollar amount collectors are currently willing to pay for a given baseball card.

So, I nominate any one of the 1947 Jackie Robinson's Bond Bread Cards.

T206 Wagner
1952 Topps Mantle
1986 Fleer Jordan

Trouts Bowman Superfractor should be considered.

I think the Wagner and Mantle are no-brainers.

From there I think you have to include the 1989 Upper Deck Griffey. It's the premier modern card and has defined an era.

Honestly if I had to pick a 4th card, it might be the 2001 Bowman Chrome Albert Pujols Autograph. It changed the hobby. And while vintage collectors might not want to hear it, it's as big a deal for modern collectors as pretty much any card would be for a vintage collector.
