    Not in the hall of fame yet, but they will be - Bryan Brothers 1999 ATP tour card

    I believe this to be Ken Rosewall's rookie but Lew Hoad has some earlier cards

    Depending on your definition of a rookie card (size, pack issued, etc), this could qualify for both of these legends. Or not. One of my favorites that I've gotten signed as of late:

    I have never heard of these two? Have they ever won a tournament?

    Maybe tennis coverage isn't that great, here's their wikipedia entry:

    The Bryan Brothers are identical twin brothers Robert Charles "Bob" Bryan and Michael Carl "Mike" Bryan, American professional doubles tennis players, and are the most successful duo of all time. They were born on April 29, 1978, with Mike being the elder by two minutes. The Bryans have won multiple Olympic medals, including the gold in 2012 and have won more professional games, matches, tournaments and Grand Slams than any other men's pairing. They have held the World No. 1 doubles ranking jointly for 438 weeks (as of October 25, 2015), which is longer than anyone else in doubles history, and have also enjoyed that world number one ranking together for a record 139 consecutive weeks. They have also finished as the ATP year-end number 1 doubles team a record 10 times. Between 2005 and 2006, they set an Open Era record by competing in seven consecutive men's doubles Grand Slam finals.

    Jackstraw, to quote another HOF tennis player I would hope you've heard of, John McEnroe "You cannot be serious!!" :p Have you been living under a rock?!?! :o The Bryan Brothers rule men's doubles and have for years!

    John mcenroe has the most titles in tennis history. Singles and doubles combined. He is one of the top 3 players in history in my opinion.

    IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED

    Personally I think this card will someday be the first with 3 HOF's!!! Why the voters have not put Mickey Klutts into the HOF, is beyond me. His name alone is worthy of the Hall :D

    The Magic/Bird rookie card has 3 HOF'ers on it, with Dr. J being in the middle. It's the quintessential multi-player HOF RC.

    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
