What is the THIRD most desirable card out there?

[Irwin Fletcher]

1989 Fleer Billy Ripken "F Face" card?

Seriously, though, I'd probably have to agree with many others and go with the 1933 Goudey Lajoie.

1990 Topps Frank Thomas NNOF!

But seriously, it has to be the T206 Plank. I'd even take a Plankenstein.

If I had a Wagner I would sell it, buy a Plank and both Mantle Rc's and every Chief Bender I could get my hands on.

The E107 Wagner and E107 Mathewson should be very high on the list.

Sweet! I've got your #3!

I really meant this post to be "WHAT IS THE UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED NUMBER THREE CARD?" but it turned into more of a personal thing, which is very cool.

I think my personal #3 would be a '34 Goudey Gehrig. It's not rare, but I just love it:
