Yes, 1st individual cards are very popular...The '82 Traded Ripken may be my favorite modern card. The Traded Ripken may also be the last great card that fits this scenario.. Unfortunately, with the vast amount of companies in modern times, scenarios like this have disappeared. Because if Topps had a player on a multi-rookie card, odds are that one of the other companies had them on an individual card.. Hell, nowadays, do they even bother with multi-player rookies? Why would a company make 1 card of 3 or 4 people, when they can make 3 or 4 throw-away cards...Unfortunately that's all that the modern base cards have become..Filler. The baseball card equivalent of packing peanuts..
