There is a 1964 Topps League Leader card with Koufax, Marichal and Spahn. Hard to beat that for pitchers.

Every few years we get a push, and in my opinion, with some good reasons about why these cards are undervalued.
The funny thing is that in today's ultra-modern card world (and granted the $$ are smaller for base cards) the leader cards of people like Judge and Ohtani are worth about the same as their regular cards. I suspect that just might nudge the older cards up a few levels as well. Rich

Here is my Vennie version of that card. Just 1 lesser name on this one.

I collected a few of these (and similar ones) some yrs ago now when the 52 Topps cards I needed were getting tougher to find and these filled my collecting void.
Never paid much for them as most know they were after thoughts to most people with some absolutely detesting just the head shots. Like some others have mentioned, I thought having a card full of HOFr's, whether their rookie or not, was pretty cool. (I even purchased, mistakenly, the same card twice. )Couldn't tell you the last time I purchased one (2-3yrs?) but I'd have no qualms purchasing more if I saw one I liked.

That '63 card made me look up Bill White -- not a name like the others, but a very nice career.
And this: "White graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Ohio in 1952, and was both president and salutatorian of his class. Because White was African American, Harding's principal ended the school tradition of the class president dancing with the prom queen (who was white that year)." Apparently would've been a doctor if the baseball thing didn't work out.

Quote:
For those thinking of starting a Bill White player set, keep in mind he's in the 1963 Topps Dice Game, so that should pose a challenge.

I'm slowly working on a full run of Topps flagship LL cards from 1962-1984. They're so cool!
