Greatest rookie card ever from a production stand point ?

From a productivity point. Has there ever been a rookie card produced in baseball that is better ? I'd say this is 2nd to the Bird/Magic rookie as far as a rookie card of players who had tremendous careers. Which others come to mind for you guys ? Trammel/Molitor Ryan/Koosman, any others ?

I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid.

    I would say until both albert and Ichiro get enshrined, you have to go with the only current multi player rookie with 2 current HOFers: Molitor/Tramell.

    I am talking strictly baseball here.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    2003 matrix m3 #jaw will get there one day.

    very good chance of being 1st card to have 3 hof rcs on it.

    i can't think of another that does.

    speaking of '78, the 2018 topps od #r3 has potential as well.

    the on demand line isn't too popular right now, but by the time these guy's careers are winding down and the fact that there's only 700ish of them out there, this could become iconic. if acuna gets his act together that is.

    6,325 hits between them....and that doesn't count Ichiro in Japan. Albert will add a few more to that.
