I'll throw my hat in the ring with the 1990 topps George bush card. Mediocre president meets mediocre card equals gold. Now an Eisenhower 52 topps high series...

Of course he didn't become President until 1953, so that may be why he wasn't included.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

This picture should have been on the cover of Time Magazine.

Good point. I was thinking the late series would have caught the 52 election but it would've still been too late.

Default Pete Rose Rookie

Yes, you get instant hobby cred for owning one. You get nothing else for your bang for bucks: too much cash for instant cachι. Sure, he's the undisputed hit king and that should command some kind of premium, he's notorious, and it IS his rookie if you buy into that sort of thing (I do on the latter when I'm selling, not buying). Those floating head cards are super fugly in an otherwise great looking set.
