Could be a fun game. Anyways....

Which player from before 1991 has been on the most "rookie" subset cards (all-star rookie, rookie prospect, rated rookie, etc) in consecutive years?


So far, I'd guess that it's a tie between two guys...

Gregg Jefferies (3 years):
1) 1988 Score (Rookie Prospects)
2) 1989 Donruss (Rated Rookie); 1989 Topps (Future Star)
3) 1990 Topps (All Star Rookie)

Bernie Williams (3 years)
1) 1970 Topps (1970 Rookie Stars) (Harrell, Williams)
2) 1971 Topps (1971 Rookie Stars N.L. Outfielders) (Redmond, Lampard, Williams)
2) 1972 Topps (1972 Rookie Stars A.L. - N.L.) (Oglivie, Cey, Williams)

    How about Lou Piniella:

    1964 with Mike Brumley
    1968 with Richie Scheinblum
    1969 with Marv Staehle
    1970 (solo, but with AS Rookie Trophy)

    Justin Huber is almost as good as Piniella. He has had "rookie" cards in 4 different set-years over 5 seasons. He has had a blue or green prospect card in Bowman or Bowman Draft in 2002, 2003, and 2005, and 2006 Bowman, along with some other sets. He had no cards in 2004 (other than minor league issues).

    2004 UD Legends Bake McBride autos & parallels, and 1974 Topps #601 PSA 9
    Rare Grady Sizemore parallels, printing plates, autographs

    I know Ed Armbrister was on at least 3 prospect cards back in the 70's (72,74,75).

    This is a cool topic. Does anybody else wonder whether the Al Weis's (Pete Rose) and Bill Denehy's (Tom Seaver) of the world stockpiled their rookie cards at the time of their release (or were given some by Topps) and found themselves sitting on a goldmine some years down the road because of the career of the 'better half' of their rookie card?

    McGwire had 85 Topps OLY, 87 Donruss RR, 88 Topps AS rookie, and 89 Score Young Superstars (not sure if you can count this).

    WE HAVE A WINNER!!

    Bill Davis from the Cleveland Indians never had a solo Topps card -- every year he shared it with someone else as a prospect

    1965 Topps #546 (Indians Rookie Stars)
    1966 Topps #46 (Indians Rookie Stars)
    1967 Topps #253 (indians Rookie Stars)
    1968 Topps #432 (Indians Rookie Stars)
    1969 Topps #304 (Padres Rookie Stars)
