Likely HOFer without a rookie card

Beltran was a stud in the postseason I think that is the push he needs to get in. Not a first year but I do believe he gets the votes he needs over time.

I think the SP Prospects card is by far the best option of the three 1995 shown in the thread. If I had to pick btw the two Topps cards, I'd go with the right picture every time. IAE, if the Topps card was correct I might like the SP better anyway.

I would like to note that there already is at least one player in the HOF whose only rookie card pictures another player, 1930’s catcher, Rick Ferrell from the 1931-32 Exhibits 4-on-1 set.

Most Mets fans would disagree with that.

I would personally go with Juan, but I like off beat cards anyway and collect sets. If I collected rookie cards I think I would have all 3 of the 95s and maybe John's 98 Leaf all together in my binder and let someone else worry about which was the "real one"

Aurelio Rodriguez might get voted into the hall by the veterans committee. That would be funny.

I'd go with the Juan card too. Rather have the right photo than the right name.

Agree, but the hobby says otherwise.

Isn't there a Hap Felsch card that has the wrong name? That card still sells pretty well based on the image and not the name.

The Hobby has a long history of valuing the name on a card vs the picture. This is an E98 with Cy Young's name and Irv Young's picture. It us not the only one there are several E sets from the same year with same Young Error. An E97 is the only one I ever owned and was not sad to see it passed on to another collection. Because I think the person pictured on the card is very important.
