Yea. This is a cool concept but some players like Belle just don't have an iconic card like some players

Buying Albert Belle cards! PM me!
I don't know about that. The 1990 Donruss "Joey Belle" card was a fun one to have.

Hey Mans, what about the 1990 Donruss "Joey Belle" card. It may not fall into the "iconic" category, but it's a fun card to have.

Sorry about the double post there. My connection seems to be disliking me this evening.

Not necessarily iconic, but this was, and still is, my favorite card of my favorite player.

To me this is it. Although the 96 mirror gold is another.

Sick Bernie. I'd check the 1993 Finest Refractor Bernie as his iconic card, though I can't argue against this one!

Thanks, have to agree the 93 finest refractor is up there to.

Agreed. And, I think people may be confusing "iconic" with "valuable" or "cool".

Think your spot on card was nearly impossible to find pre ebay.

For Yaz it has to be this
3000 Hits, Super rare, Probably his most expensive auto and just a beautiful on card auto.
I'm pretty sure you're joking, right? There's nothing iconic about that card. I like it, don't get me wrong, low serial's are cool, but iconic? Not even remotely. His RC, now that's iconic.

based on how I interpret iconic, here are the ones of the guys I collect -
For Mike Piazza, I think it's a big debate between his 1992 Fleer Update vs. 1992 Bowman. Up until about 5-10 years ago his Fleer was the no brainer choice, but I think the rise of Bowman as "THE" prospect / rookie brand has probably helped with prices of his 1992 Bowman card. Both feature pretty cool photos. I'm going with the 1992 Fleer Update as it's rarer than the Bowman, and I think was actually released first. Honorable mention to his 1992 Donruss The Phenoms rookie and of course his 1993 Topps...
For Pedro Martinez, this is a much easier call, it's his 1991 Upper Deck Final Edition card, which was part of their update set that year. He didn't appear in any other sets in 1991. The only other competitor would be his 1992 Bowman. I think most people would defer to the 1992 UDFE as hit most iconic, though long-term may not be the most valuable given how much of this stuff is out there.
For Clayton Kershaw and Trevor Bauer, with the rise of superfractors, it would be their first prospect super autos...

I may have mis interpreted what the OP was looking for, I assumed he meant Iconic as for what a player collector would want in his collection. So no I was not joking but maybe mis understood. Yes the Yaz Rc is nice but I would rather have the Card above if I were to start to build a Yaz pc (Which I have) and Build down.
