Curious. Can anyone explain why Topps did this? (Multiple rookie cards for same player).
The Lou Pinella multiple rookies are funny in that :
His 1964 Topps rookie is with the Senators (Washington signed and traded his rights away to Cleveland before he played a game for them)
His 1968 Topps rookie is with the Indians. Where he only had 5 total at bats (0-5).
His 1969 Topps rookie with the Seattle Pilots (Piniella was selected by Pilots in the 1968 expansion draft in October, but was traded to KC after spring training never playing a regular season game for them).
So Pinella had 3 rookie cards with basically NO playing experience.
