Any other major superstars have a rookie card not in their rookie uniform ?

Goldenage

Bobby Orr is only pictured in his rookie uniform in the 1967 General Mills and 1966 JD McCarthy postcard. His 1966 Topps rookie you’ll notice a white circle around his neck on his jersey like his 2nd year card. His JD and GM cards have dark circles around his neck, and clearly show his rookie uniform. Some say the 1966 Topps is his rookie uniform and some say it isn’t because the 1965 Topps Bruins players have the white circle on their necks.

Any other HOF’s have this quirky feature as well ?

Ryne Sandberg has no cards on the Phillies (at least playing days cards) even though that was the first team he played on in the majors.

Does Mark McGwire's 1985 Topps count as a rookie card? (not HOF)

I think so. Mark is #1 all time in HR’s per least amount of at bats.
Ruth is 2nd and Bonds third.

Mark - 10.61
Bonds - 12.92

Mariano Rivera is the obvious answer

Where are all the Brett Hull rookie cards that should have been made with him in a Calgary Flames sweater (not Moncton) ?

How about Sammy Sosa...rookie year 1990 pictures him in White Sox, but in 1989, there was an oddball set featuring him with his first team.

These days like every dude has RC cards of them in uniforms other than their 1st MLB teams uniform. These days dudes have like 2000 cards that fit that description before the 1st card of them in their 1st MLB teams uniform is issued.

Has everyone seen Sammy lately ?

Do you think his 88 opc is air brushed ?

I feel like a lot of 90’s basketball has rookies in suits or plain clothes . Off the top of my head, Kevin Garnett 1995 Finest, Gary Payton 1990 Skybox & Hoops, Kobe 1996 Upper Deck, & David Robinson 1989 Hoops (not technically in the jersey but holding it).

1973 Venezuelan Winter League Jim Rice, 1967 Venezuelan Topps Dave Concepcion.

Sandberg has three 1981 Venezuelan Winter League Stickers in a Phillies uniform. Should be considered his true RC.

Does it have to be a baseball superstar?

Wasn’t aware of that. I have the ‘82 Red Lobster that I always considered his rookie card. Is it an actual Phillies uniform or a Phillies minor league uniforms?

Is this what you are talking about? Looks like a Winter League uni not a Phillies. I consider this more of a minor league pre-rookie card. Still very cool though.

Or Gretzky with the Racers.

I’m glad Gretzky’s rookie card is with the Canadian team he won cups with instead of from a team from Indiana that folded.

Yes, this sticker and there are 2 other stickers in this set including one only of Sandberg. You are correct, he is not in a Phillies uniform. They are extremely rare to find or find without paper loss or damage.

Mine is raw. Chose baseball card day as my Cubs game to go to when I was 10 years old and have the whole set. It also has a Lee Smith rookie in the set - but not as cool as Smith has other 1982 cards.
