Topps rookie card oddities
 
Nothing new, but see how many you know (don't post answers yet).

1. Appeared on 3 different multiplayer cards, the first and last being 5 years apart.

2. Appeared on 5 consecutive multiplayer cards.

3. Appeared in sets his first two years, then not again until 5 years later (and regularly after that).

4. Appeared on his own card before he appeared on a multiplayer card.

5. HOFers who appeared on multiplayer cards in consecutive years (I know of two).

6. HOFer with 4 year gap between his first and second cards.

I know the first 5, let me ponder the last. There is at least one HOFer with an 11 year gap between his first two cards.

Was he the only one to ever do that? ETA I have found seven players who appeared on their own card before appearing on a multiplayer card.

I was thinking of a HOFer but I have no doubt there are others.

Question 2, no?

G1911 07-31-2022 11:21 AM

How many answers are there for 2? Is it the guy who appeared on 5 of the multi rookies, or do league leaders count and there’s several? If it’s the later, I don’t know them all

From the title I meant to include only rookie cards not leaders.

Better that than the Ted Z school -- there are 100 right answers but which one am I thinking of? :eek:
