1914 Babe Ruth Baltimore News
1952 Hank Aaron Clowns postcard
1977 Rickey Henderson Chong's
1980 Cal Ripkin Charlotte O's
What gives? Are there lessons learned for collectors of more modern cards?

What gives is that the issues you named are extremely scarce. Where they are more common, generally speaking, they aren't preferred over the major league RCs. To the contrary.
