Both examples above are great, and the 1941 is certainly the more affordable of the two. You could also do the 1923 V100 Willard’s Chocolates. It’s one of the nicer looking cards in the set. I haven’t scanned mine yet (oops), but I know that I saw one recently for sale on the BST.

Here’s the earliest photo I have of Rickey from 1907 during his brief time with the Highlanders:



Depending on if you’re into it or not, there are a few Team Photos of Branch Rickey with his Ohio Wesleyan team. The 1903 and 1904 teams were racially integrated while he was coaching there (as a student). There’s a great article about his time at OWU below:
