1922 Exhibit
 For many Negro League players, the Laughlin/Fleer issues from the 1970s are the first actual card appearances.

If you had to pick one as the single toughest to find anything career contemporary, I would go with William Hulbert. Morgan Bulkeley would be right there too, anything political would be post-baseball career. As mentioned previously, a couple of other extreme toughies would be Candy Cummings and Frank Grant.

and don't forget Jesse Burkett. There aren't many contemporary "traditional" Burkett cards around, which is why his material always sell for a premium.
I think the options available for Burkett, excluding team postcards and cabinets and the like, are the 1893 Just So (one example known), the 1898 Cameo Pepsin Gum Pin, the 1902-11 W600 Sporting Life Cabinets, the 1909 T204 Ramly, and the 1921 Koester Bread. All of these are rare issues.

In terms of greatness of the player contrasted with toughness of an issue, for my money, Josh Gibson takes the cake.
I filled that hole with this scorecard from the 1942 Negro League World Series which has his photo covering one side. It's an official issue from his playing days, though obviously not a card. I was happy to nab one where the crease isn't going through his nose.  (apologies for the glare from the slab)
