I would agree that no players should be on the list.

There may be a demand for their cards because they were players, but there is also demand every year for that one weird card that gets out and causes a frenzy of people who think it will remain hot in five years.

Can't see putting Billy "#>¢% Face" Ripkin on any list just because his card was hot at one time. If you can't do one, you shouldn't do any.

Mr McCollum you are wrong, the Bill Ripken F Face card should be on every list. Can you even consider yourself a baseball card collector without owning a copy?

Burdick and Carter for sure. And I would recommend considering John D. Wagner, a pioneer of baseball card collecting, as well as through the mail autograph-on-card (including T206s!) seeking:

Ted Koch was a person I learned a lot from and he said that he used to buy things from Goodie Goldfaden way back when. So as a person who used to sell by mail order, I guess he could be nominated.
