which cards are iconic, but not rookie cards.
this could include error cards.
there may be commons that the average collector is not even aware of.
examples..
1989 Fleer Bill Ripken F word.
1992 Bowman Chipper Jones in button up shirt and khakis.
1989 Upper Deck Dale Murphy reverse negative.
1989 Upper Deck Nolan Ryan throwing a football.
1990 Upper Deck Mike Witt with black box on the back.
1952 Mantle is the most obvious one
A common modern one could be the 2007 Jeter/Mantle/Bush Shortprint

There are a some of those weird 80's Fleer cards that would qualify. Hatcher, Comstock Hubbard to name a few.
Also the 1969 Batboy card. Aurelio Rodriguez (sp?)

Probably based on how much they sell for, how few were made, and how cool they look, for Derek Jeter I would go with:
1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold

Does the 1985 Mark McGwire Topps Olympic Team count as his rookie? If not, it definitely ranks high on the list.

I don't blame people for leaving a bunch of those out. At this point, pre-war collecting seems like a completely different hobby than vintage post-war card collecting, which feels completely different from modern card collecting.
