Most iconic baseball card image

Those are truly the Iconic 5

The Wagner is by far number 1 and then Mantle #2

After that it is a toss up but I would put the Ruth 3, then Cobb and Then Jackson

Anybody know how I can edit the poll so that the 5th option says “1952 Topps Mantle”??

Leon, can you help? Thanks

Where's T206 Wajo port?

i voted wagner.

i actually think the cracker jack cobb may be more iconic than the jackson?

more people know cobb better, so recognition of the non-collector is actually much higher? just my opinion, for nerds like us it's probably jackson due to value but iconic doesn't just mean what we think - it's what the general public thinks

I voted for the Mantle rookie as the card that would be recognized by the public at large. I really don't know, though. Babe Ruth is probably still the most recognized name, without regard to his cards. Mike Trout has sold just behind the Wagner and Mantle, but I don't think he's generally well known.

Dr.

Let’s share the love Cobb already has 1 card on the list does he really need 2 cards?
Actually CJ Cobb is iconic but to me the T206 is more iconic as a result I could not personally but the 2nd Cobb on the list.
And Jackson is iconic and the Cracker Jack is his most iconic card so I can see it on the list.
Transparency I am a Jackson fan. If anyone could not have guessed

Cobb doesn’t need two on the list.

Wagner is THE T206, so Cobb T206 shouldn’t be there. I would put Cobb CJ on there, again because he’s more known than Jackson outside collecting circles. I’d love to add a CJ Jackson to my collection, but he’s not iconic in my view.

I don’t think Ruth really has an iconic card. An autographed baseball is what I would pick for him.

Wagner and Mantle are the cards the general public would recognize, it’s a large gap from them to the next cards.
