have always found the 1960 Maris to be very popular since it's his first in a NY uni.

Now that I think about it, first cards in a favorite uni. usually fall into this category. Good call.

I guess I'll add the 1982 Topps Traded Ozzie Smith to this list then.. Possibly even the OPC despite still showing him in his padres uni, since it at least has the Trade to the Cardinals mentioned on the card front..

I love the 1964 Topps Pete Rose.

I think a lot of the second year cards are popular, especially when the rookie shared a card with other players.

'68 Seaver
'69 Ryan
'69 Bench
'71 Munson
'82 TT Ripken

Yes, 1st individual cards are very popular...The '82 Traded Ripken may be my favorite modern card. The Traded Ripken may also be the last great card that fits this scenario.. Unfortunately, with the vast amount of companies in modern times, scenarios like this have disappeared. Because if Topps had a player on a multi-rookie card, odds are that one of the other companies had them on an individual card.. Hell, nowadays, do they even bother with multi-player rookies? Why would a company make 1 card of 3 or 4 people, when they can make 3 or 4 throw-away cards...Unfortunately that's all that the modern base cards have become..Filler. The baseball card equivalent of packing peanuts..

The 1953 Bowman Pee Wee Reese was the first card that popped in my mind to answer this question.

Is there a better vintage action shot photo on any card? I cant think of one.
