Varies by person. For me the list is:

1. N172 Anson in Uniform
2. Baltimore News Ruth
3. T210 Jackson

I like the '52 Topps Mantle but it isn't in my top 50

Probably differs by collector, and by day, but for this collector on this day, a CJ Jackson can occupy the #3 spot. Although I'd change the top 2 as well...

Regards,

Richard.

The 1933 Goudey Lajoie would be in my top 3.

It's the details that kill you in this hobby. That is the rookie Ruth I was referring to. I guess for me, it would be #1.

Globally, your #1 is probably accurate, but from there it goes by taste. On a pre-WW2 vintage board, you'd probably not get overwhelming support for the '52 Topps Mantle being the #2 desirable card. It being the second most recognized globally might be a different discussion, though.

Truth be told, if I had a T206 Wagner, I'd sell it because it is so universally acclaimed in order to get cards that are more desirable to me. My point is that desirability is a personal choice. So, the question really is, "What is your #3?"
