I like this list, though I would replace the Gehrig or Mathewson with the Old Judge Cap Anson in uniform. Or is that one too rare and obscure?

That is certainly a good choice. Very iconic card.

I'm happy to say that I've owned three cards on this list at one time or another.

It's a totally defensible list. Of course we might not agree with it but it's as good as any list I could come up with. Yellow Gehrig should be on the list.

1: T206 Honus Wagner
2: 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle
3: 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth (yellow)
4: 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan
5: 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle
6: 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson
7: 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey, Jr.
8: T206 Ty Cobb Red Portrait (Cobb back)
9: 1954 Topps Hank Aaron
10: 1979 O-Pee-Chee Wayne Gretzky
11: 1965 Topps Joe Namath
12: 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan with Jerry Koosman
13: 1914 CJ Ty Cobb
14: 1952 Topps Willie Mays
15: 1914 CJ Joe Jackson
16: M101-5 Sporting News Babe Ruth
17: 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente
18: 1951 Bowman Willie Mays
19: 1958 Topps Jim Brown
20: 1980 Topps Larry Bird / Magic Johnson / Julius Erving
21 (tied): 1955 Topps Koufax (rookie), 1941 Play Ball Ted Williams
23 (tied): 1966 Topps USA Bobby Orr, Baltimore News Ruth, T3 Cobb

It is a terrible list. No Plank or Lajoie? No Jackie Robinson RC? Missing 2 of the top 3 basketball cards Kobe Chrome and LeBron Exquisite? Missing the #1 football card, Brady Contenders? Proof of why I would never pay to read The Atlantic.
