I'm looking for rookie cards of all of the following athletes. I indicate in parentheses what I believe is the year of their first issued card, but if you have (or are just aware of) an earlier one I would be interested in that information even if you aren't looking to sell or trade the card. I'm not aware of what a rookie card might be for athletes that have no year listed, or in some cases if they have any cards at all, but I'm interested in any card produced during their active career in the sport if you have one.
