Here's a few of mine.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...96dbb4e589.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b75a100f38.jpg

Those are manager cards. I am looking for cards that say position/coach.

1985 Topps Pete Rose

Figured this was close enough; however, it's technically position/manager.

Not my card; pic from eBay.

That works.

I immediately went to this card in my head...

Doesn't fit the bill...but I remember being blown away when I was 9 in 1979 and seeing Don Kessinger's regular card showing him as a SS, then seeing his face on the team card as the manager. Just didn't compute for me then...lol. Those days of having a player/coach certainly seem long gone...

So Peter, a card that says position/manager doesn't count?

Yes, I said the Pete Rose card posted above worked.

To clarify: subjects who are simultaneously both a position player and a manager or coach, and whose cards reflect both, as in the ones I posted, the Frank Robinson, etc. Not former players who became managers or coaches. Any others out there?

Harliduck 07-17-2023 10:54 AM

BTW...the 64 Whitey PSA 10 is not my card...thought it would look nicer here than the raw EX version in my set...:)

There's a ton of other Roses from 1985-1987.

And 2 of Boudreau's include the dual designation explicitly.

ALR-bishop 07-17-2023 02:54 PM

Peter— can you clarify a little what you are looking for ?

I thought that Frank Robinson was a fantasy piece...maybe one of those 21st Century cards-that-never-were. Is that a '70s Topps issue?

You were right about it being a fantasy piece.

Peter_Spaeth 07-17-2023 09:27 PM

Went right over my head haha.

1948-1949 Leaf Lou Boudreau, though the reference to positions is on the back

Thought this might have been one. I picked this card up (not this copy specifically) as a kid. Turns out, it only says Manager, but he also played a few games that year and beyond.
