Default Postwar Topps Baseball Card Trivia
Tough questions (in my opinion). Lets see how you do...
  1. While it was not unusual for Topps to reuse photos on their cards back in the day, they reused the same photo of this guy... 7 years apart. Who?
  2. In the postwar era (pre-1980) there were 4 Cy Young winners that had regular issue Topps cards with different teams the year they won the award. No tricks. Name the 4 guys.
  3. Speaking of Cy Young Award winners, during the Postwar era (pre 1980) there was never a Topps set with more than 2 rookie cards of future Cy Young award winners... except for one set that had 4. Name the set and the 4 players. We're talking legit rookie cards here.
  4. Same question, only with MVP winners; Generally, there was never a postwar era Topps set with more than 2 rookie cards of future MVP winners - 3 exceptions to this: one set had 5!!!; one set had 4; and one set had 3. Name the sets and corresponding future MVP RC's. No tricks. We're talking legit RC's (52T Mantle, 56T Howard, 52 Topps Mays are not legit RC's).
  5. Postwar Topps Rookie of the Year question: Name the 2 rookie of the Year Award winners that had Topps cards with different teams the year before they won the award.

3. Has to be 1965. I can only think of 3. McLain, Hunter, and Carlton
4. 1955 has Koufax, Clemente, and Killebrew
1975 has Rice, Lynn, Brett, Yount, and Hernandez
I can't think of another
5. Lou Pinella is one. Can't think of the other.

#3 is closed out (1965 w/ Hunter, Carlton, McLain, and Lonborg.
#4 is partially correct: 1975 was the set with RCs of 5 future MVPs.
Still looking for the set with 4 and the set with 3 future MVP's (the set w/ 3 is very tough). Anyone?

Actually 1955 Topps was the set with four RC's of future MVP's. C'mon... the last guy, while harder than Koufax, Clemente, Killebrew, is get-able.
The set with 3 RC's of MVP's is much tougher.

He shared the 63 card with three other players and again in 1970 he shared his card with another rookie.

Negative. Elston's rookie card is in the 55 Bowman set. This is a Topps question.

Topps used the same photo of Bob Miller Phillies in the 52 set and with the Cardinals in the 59 set. Same 7 years if my math is correct.

1959? Mike Cuellar, Jim Perry and Bob Gibson.

Poo. I missed out on this. The '75 set would have popped into my head right away, but the others would have taken some thinking.

More please I'll try to make it on before 4 am, heh heh.

You are right. When I was figuring this stuff out in my head (and a notepad) I put Jim Perry's RC in the 60 set. '59 is correct - still makes '65 as the only set w/ 4 Cy Young RCs, but the question stated that "no other set had more than 1 RC of a future Cy Young winner. You proved me inaccurate on this one.

This is why I was careful to not say, "only guy with the same picture 7 years apart..." I figured that there might have more than one or even one with a greater time between.

No problem, and thanks for the brain teasers. Actually, I think there is another Topps set with 3 RCs of eventual Cy Young winners. 1976 had Ron Guidry, Mike Flanagan and Dennis Eckersley. Some may consider Eck's SSPC card to be his rookie, but that was unlicensed and, contrary to popular belief, was likely issued in 1976 and not 1975 anyway.
