Essential must have top 10 Juan cards

[mgilbert06]

Hey guys I wanted to know what 10 cards you guys feel are the essential Juan cards. The 10 every collector must own. This topic was visited briefly in 2007 but there were only a couple responses. I'm interested to know what you guys think. Thanks

the first pitch preview was never made for juan - nobody wrote in on the 99th day of the promotion so they didnt make it

My idea was that your personal top 5 and the top 10 essentials would possibly be very different. One is just a show and tell the other is for guys who haven't been collecting Juan that long and want an idea on where to start.

My top 5 favorite
2001 rookie reprints auto
1998 donruss signature preview
1990 donruss (purchased with my late father, my favorite card)
1994 ultra hitting machines (I just think it looks cool)
1994 pinnacle museum collection (maybe my favorite Juan picture)
