Players who are more known for a card than their career.

Mike Mitchell and Andy Pafko

I realize Pafko had a decent career, but most don't know his stats. Most vintage collectors do know the player on card #1 in 1952.

Fatty Arbuckle is famous for being Fatty Arbuckle, and for a notorious trial. When I think of Hank Allen, I think of his relation to Dick Allen. Is there something special about his baseball card?

Hi Mark,

You are correct in regards to Arbuckle's career and his notorious trial.

I should have been a tad more specific. Arbuckle was part-owner of the PCL's Vernon Tigers, which ultimately landed him a Zeenut card during that era.

A very rare, amusing and desirable card as you probably know:
