Default Baseball Card Trivia Question
I've been posting these from time to time. Got two for you. One I consider easy, and the other will make you look through your collections until you come up with the answer (I hate trivia questions that can easily be looked up on the internet). So, starting with the easy one:
1) Only one player (Postwar pre-1980) has appeared in the same set as an all-star; with a Topps Rookie Trophy; and on a League Leader card. Name him.
2) Two players on the same Topps Rookie Stars card (Postwar pre 1980) were both later featured as all-stars in the same set. This actually happened twice. Name the Rookie Stars cards (year and players), and name the year these guys were later featured as all-stars in the same set.

Correct... but don't be too proud of yourself; that was the easy one.

I assume Molitor Trammell and Murphy Parrish are too easy and thus wrong?

Molitor and Trammell never appeared on all-star cards in the same set. Murphy and Parrish however, both were Topps all-stars in the 1985 set. One down. One more Topps Rookie Stars card to identify.

For second question, is only the RC pre-1980 or is that true of all the cards?

Not the answer to the question but the Cey/Schmidt RC generated quite a few all-star cards.

It did, but obviously both being 3B, never were all-stars in the same set. Last card is pretty cool and easily forgotten (apparently).

Is Willie McCovey the only player to appear on a rookie card and an All Star card the same year?

This isn't actually correct. Rose started the 1975 as a RF and therefore was on the AS ballot as a RF and started the game in RF. He switched to 3B during the year, therefore his 1976 card correctly identifies him as both, a 3B (which he currently was) and an All Star (which he was the previous year, only as a RF.

Okay, got it. Rather than answer I will drop a hint for others. 1976 Oakland A's.

Dale Murphy and Lance Parrish were on the same "rookie" card even though Murphy had appeared the year before in 1977. Pretty sure they were all stars at the same time.

I looked at that card and forgot Tenace was an All-Star.

1970 Topps #21 Vida Blue & Gene Tenace
Both All Stars in 1976 Topps Set.

Best trivia is (are?) the questions you can't immediately look up on-line. Good job fellas!

Murphy and Parrish are pretty high up on the list of All-Star appearances by non-HOFers, at least among eligible non-PED guys. Murphy had 7, and Parrish had 8.
