Player with best card representation
Okay here's a toughie: I was pondering which player has the broadest representation amongst types of cards. I don't mean players with the most cards, or multiple cards within the same set. I mean which player appears on the most, different types of cards, so if one were to collect his card, one would have the broadest representation of the different types of cards being made?
The one that came to mind first was Warren Spahn:
In addition to appearing in every Topps years from '51 to 65, he appears on every Bowman card except for 54 and 55, as well as the 48 Leaf, 51 Berk Ross, 52-55 Red Man, 53-55 Johnston Cookie, and a fistful of other one off cards.
So if you collected just Spahn cards, you'd wind up with a helluva type set, representing nearly every major cardboard issue of the period.
Can anyone think of another player who has better representation?
