Default Baseball Cards - where obscure players become legends

Have you ever thought about all the players whose names would likely be forgotten had it not been for some baseball card anomaly that would keep people mentioning their name with reverence decades after their passing ?

Sherri Magee -T206
Ivy Andrews - George C Miller
Joe Doyle - T206
Jim Konstanty - 1951 Current All Stars
Andy Pafko - 1952 Topps
Billy Ripen - 1989 Fleer

I'm sure there are dozens more that others can name. Good players, I'm sure. But their real fame came from a baseball card.
