For me there's a certain fun in finding "the" card (or cards) for a given player. The card that is the magical blend of set, player, year, image etc. For some players this can be a really expensive card, for others it's much more standard.
I think for some players it is pretty easy to identify. For Griffey it's likely his 1989 UD RC. (For those looking for a few iconic cards, his UD dual auto with Mantle is an awesome choice as well.) For Pujols it's gotta be the 2001 Bowman Chrome. For other players it's less obvious, and I'm sure there will be all sorts of opinions.
Randy Johnson does not have too many really high-end cards. I know he had an error card early on that was very popular, but in my mind this card has so many things going for it. Unfortunately I sold it recently to pay for some things, but it's from a great set, great on-card signature with nickname, /200 so a tough pull but not impossible and just a great looking card.
