Good morning
So with the recent pickup of the 52T Mantle, I am trying to focus on the iconic HOF's and picking up their top cards, whether it's a true rookie card or not. In everyone's opinions, what would be the most desirable and in demand card for each of these icons...?
Lou Gherig
Joe Dimaggio
Babe Ruth
Ted Williams
Stan Musial
Ty Cobb
Joe Jackson
I should clarify that I don't want a card that's super rare and hard to find might be considered more desirable and in demand, but I am just looking for a super cool card of each that represent the player and hobby well....thanks!

<< <i>Stan is easy...the 1948 Bowman Musial is the one to own. True rookie, classic black and white photo of a teenaged Musial. >>
Stan was 27/28 years old in 1948. Definitely a classic card.
Joe Dimaggio - 1941 playball
Babe Ruth - 1933 goudey 149
Ted Williams - 1954 wilson franks
Stan Musial - 53 bowman color
Ty Cobb - t206 bat on shoulder
Joe Jackson - 1915 Cracker Jack
Bosox1976
Ty Cobb - T205
It might not be considered a rookie card for Stan Musial, but the Cuban-issued 1946-47 Sensacion Premiums is kind of neat-looking even though it is thin newspaper stock paper. SGC grades them but they are too big to fit in PSA holders.
Here is an old thread that discusses all the Musial issues that were before 1948.
