In terms of greatness of the player contrasted with toughness of an issue, for my money, Josh Gibson takes the cake.
I filled that hole with this scorecard from the 1942 Negro League World Series which has his photo covering one side. It's an official issue from his playing days, though obviously not a card. I was happy to nab one where the crease isn't going through his nose.
(apologies for the glare from the slab)
