Not sure if that helps your decision one way or another. <br /><br />For Hellickson vs Sacagawea look back at your rule #3, that should make your decision for you.

I've decided on the following:<br />Statue of Liberty<br />Will Clark<br />Jack the Ripper<br />Dice-K<br />Eisenhower<br />*undecided*<br />Eiffel Tower<br />PT Barnum<br />*undecided*<br />Einstein<br />I ended up pulling some strings for this last one, going with a 2013 Gary Carter instead. He was being used in another slot which I switched to Johnny Cueto.<br /><br />Looks like Arthur is far and away the favorite for the last slot. Good to know. I'll still take more feedback on the last two undecided slots.<br />Alou vs. Vazquez<br />Hellickson vs. SacagaweaBubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062079159673852999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596401113331676766.post-80114695322581307532016-11-21T23:56:54.351-05:002016-11-21T23:56:54.351-05:00-Statue of Liberty

Statue of Liberty (Does it ...Here is my two cents:<br /><br />Statue of Liberty (Does it get any more iconic?)<br />Will Clark (Probably one of the better photos I've seen in A&G)<br />Cowherd (Just for the novelty of it, I suppose. I like Cowherd--most of the time.)<br />Dice-K (Not too enamored with either, so I'll go with the bigger name)<br />Eisenhower (He didn't come in second, and I definitely am impressed)<br />Furcal(Don't like the horizontal, but love the framing with the background)<br />Moises (One of my favorites of yesteryear, and I've got a good friend named Moises)<br />P.T. Barnum (such an interesting figure!)<br />Sacagawea (Props to an amazing person)<br />Einstein (Who doesn't love Einstein)<br />Ramirez (Again, not in love with either, but he's better than Richards and, again, I don't love the horizontal)Trevor Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09207010676916110937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596401113331676766.post-85658505278504985372016-11-21T18:30:10.883-05:002016-11-21T18:30:10.883-05:00I've got to go with:
Statue of Liberty
Cepeda...I've got to go with:<br /><br />Statue of Liberty<br />Cepeda<br />Jack the Ripper<br />Matsuzaka<br />Eisenhower - hey, Maroney is cute, but I'm not American so her Olympic status doesn't cut it over Eisenhower as iconic to me<br />Vazquez<br />Eiffel Tower<br />Barnum<br />Sacagawea<br />Fingers - really want to go Einstein, but the iconic mustache<br />Ramirez - agree with the vertical cards comments above<br />Arthur<br /><br />Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652380890985105416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596401113331676766.post-88830721341030966382016-11-21T16:54:38.640-05:002016-11-21T16:54:38.640-05:00As someone with an A&G mini set, my expert opi...As someone with an A&G mini set, my expert opinion:<br /><br />Statue of Liberty<br />Cepeda over that whiny-ass Giant clown<br />Jack the Ripper (not a great selection there)<br />Matsuzaka<br />Maroney<br />Vazquez (no Giants!)<br />Eiffel Tower<br />P.T. Barnum<br />Sacagawea<br />Einstein (toughest of the bunch, skipping Fingers is brutal)<br />Ramirez (vertical over horizontal)<br />Chester A.

Statue of Liberty. Iconic of the country...My votes:<br />Statue of Liberty. Iconic of the country enough to appear on coinage!<br />Will Clark. Better photo.<br />Javy Lopez. Beats a murderer and somebody who murders TV goodness hands down.<br />Matsuzaka because he looks happy to appear on the card.<br />Next ones tough. Eisenhower won WWII but moroney is much better to look at. Total tossup.<br />Eiffel tower. If you want iconic there is little more iconic than it.<br />Pt Barnum. He would have loved the concept of blogging I think.<br />Hellickson. Because nobody knows what Sacajawea really looked like because nobody thought to ever draw her.<br />The next one is toughest of all. Andretti is a legend, Einstein is a legend, Rollie fingers mustache is a legend. I have to give the nod to andretti because I'm a race fan.<br />Richards, because action shots are rare in a & g<br />For 326 I voted for Castro because the bright red is unusual to see, most a & g cards are more subdued and pastel.
