Maybe someone can help jog my memory, but there's a basketball card that has the Mendendez brothers prominently sitting courtside.

When it comes to the really old cards -- pre-WWII etc. many collector are history buffs and have created greater demand for the better and more interesting players even if they did not quite make to Cooperstown. Maybe its speculation that they might get it someday (or should get it). Anyway, there's additional demand out there for players like Harry Stovey, Bill Dahlen, and especially Pete Browning (the original "Louisville Slugger")...

Someone mentioned Bo Jackson already -- I would emphasize those two Score Company cards of him with baseball bats and the shoulder pads. People love those cards and Score Company cards are otherwise not in high demand at all.

Perhaps a small premium for Jimmy Piersall who overcame mental illness (mostly) and wrote a book about it, "Fear Strikes Out".

And don't forget the subsequent movie starring Anthony Perkins and Karl Malden.

Any premium for Al Schacht and Nick Altrock for being famous clowns in addition to their playing and coaching careers? Schacht wrote not one but two autobiographies, and claimed to have performed live in front of more people than anyone in history. I think Max Patkin lifted Schacht's shtick in its entirety for several more generations of fans.

Am saving this thread for future reference… great ideas for sub-collections and display!

(and thx for explaining the background to that Mark Jackson card - I don’t collect basketball but kept seeing that card pop up as graded and never knew why. Mystery now solved)
