CNBC's "Iconic Baseball Cards" ?!?
If you want a laugh (or not), check out CNBC's list of "The Most Iconic Baseball Cards of All-Time". Here's a hint -- Jose Canseco is on the list

Re: CNBC's "Iconic Baseball Cards" ?!?
I don't get it. I know what "iconic" means, but I'm not entirely sure the writer of this piece does; I certainly don't understand what makes him believe that some of these cards - Canseco, Griffey, Mattingly - are well described by it. And what does he mean when, in referring to the '89 UD Griffey card, he writes, "This card represented the very height of baseball card collecting."?
Huh?

How can he be taken as a legitimate journalist if he made no mention of Stephen Strasburg?

Agreed. It would probably be more accurate to describe it as the beginning of the end for the hobby of card collecting.

Crazy stuff. To me iconic cards are the T206 Honus, 52 Topps Mickey Mantle and Nolan Ryan's rookie card. Anything after 1980 is just overproduced or one of many variations of insert cards. hammer i thought that card would get me rich also. i stockpiled van poppel and scott erickson like they were gold.
