Overall, it is pretty affordable. Rose and McCovey are the most expensive. Murray, Ozzie Smith, Bobby Cox, Seaver, Ripken, Bench and Carew will set you back a bit. There are some high numbers from 61 - 72 that may set you back $5 - $10 or more depending on your condition requirements.

If you are planning to collection the newer sets the cards from 1979 to 1986 do not have the rookie cups, even though there were Topps Rookie All Star teams for those years. They are contained in the list Peter provided. There are some cards like Rick Monday (1968), Jesse Gonder (1964), and a few more that do not have the cups.

There are multiple sets around 2010 and forward where there are multiple choices to get a card of a player with the cup if cost is a consideration.

There are a couple of sets you can use to fill in the blanks for players missing the rookie cups on their cards. They include, but are not limited to: 2005 Topps Rookie Cup, 2014 Topps All Rookie Cup, 2016 Topps Chicago Cubs, and 2021 Topps All-Star Rookie Cup

Here is the 2022 list that I believe is missing from the TCDB list. This is from my lists. It contains the players, but is not an exhaustive list of the options.

2022 Topps
24 Trevor Rogers ASR
175 Tyler Stephenson ASR
190 Emmanuel Clase ASR
196 Randy Arozarena ASR
271 Patrick Wisdom ASR

2022 Topps Opening Day
26 Ryan Mountcastle ASR
40 Jonathan India ASR
118 Luis Garcia ASR
135 Adolis Garcia ASR
197 Dylan Carlson ASR
208 Wander Franco ASR, RC

Outstanding - thx for the great advice… actually, the only ones I’d like to collect/display are the HOFers (save $$ on the Rose)

Might not be quite as large and challenging as I first thought

Thx again, Erik
