Default HOF Best First Year/Last Year Rookie Cards Topps

I have been curious about which HOF player(s) (Topps cards only) had the best combination of 1st year Topps card and last year Topps card. I thought it would be easy to find several but it was a little more difficult than I thought.

If you count the 52 Topps Mantle as his rookie card you could make a case for Mick. Beyond that I struggled to find a great combo. I would be curious of others thoughts on the best HOF Topps combo. of 1st year combined with last year. One HOF player that I came up with is Juan Marichal.

Rookie card depicting a fresh-faced (non-menacing looking) happy go lucky look to his final Topps card of his intimidating high leg kick that he became known for.

Clemente comes to mind first for me.
To me, his last card is even superior to his rookie card.
Note, while I like his rookie card I'm one of those who prefer his 1956. Choosing between '56 and '73 would be hard for me.

Default Clemente

I am honestly not a fan of his 1973 card. Love the 1955 and 1956 Topps cards.

Agreed. Clemente's 72 is much better than his 73

On the other hand it's hard to imagine a worse combination than the 48B and 65T Berra.
