Hundreds of players. I can at least 25 packer cards from the 50's 60's and 70's

Bobby Cox.

1969 Topps. He only had a 2 year playing career (1968 - 1969), but he only had 1 card.

Actually I believe he was part of the 4 in 1 insert??

If your just counting cards of Bobby Cox as a player, he's got 7. Many, many more as a manager.
1967 Topps Venezuelan #122 Bobby Cox
1968 Yankees Photos SCFC #83 Bobby Cox
1969 Milton Bradley #65 Bob Cox
1969 Topps Team Posters #19 New York Yankees
1969 Topps #237 Bobby Cox RC
1969 Yankees Photos SCFC #39 Bobby Cox
1970 Venezuelan Ovenca #186 Bobby Cox

Not sure about the rules here.

Closest I could was Jan Dukes he appears on 1970 Topps #154 and the O-Pee-Chee #154. He also appears on a 1993 Rangers Keebler card (that set chronicled everyone whoever played for the Rangers).

matthewbschultz83 · February 12, 2009 3:43AM

FOUND ONE!!!! Searched Beckett.com's checklist and I found one:
Jim Kremmel

His only card was the 1993 Rangers Keebler #221 for appearing in 4 games in 1973 with the Rangers

What do I win?

TRIVIA: Which thread features a garbled question with thousands of possible correct answers?

digicat · February 12, 2009 3:45AM

<< His only card was the 1993 Rangers Keebler #221 for appearing in 4 games in 1973 with the Rangers >>

1993 is far removed from his baseball career.

matthewbschultz83 · February 12, 2009 3:57AM

I'll give you that. I am fascinated by the guy that only has one card listed on Beckett.com, no minor leaguer cards, just one base issued card from whenever.

I agree that Kremmel should be discounted - the 93 Keebler card was just commemorate the fact that appeared in a Rangers uniform. I think this would be nearly impossible, becuase who doesn't have a minor league card from the late 70s to today? Then if you go before 81 then you just have Topps, but you have the O-Pee-Chee "parallel" set not to mention tons of regional issues.

If anyone finds one I would be interested. I am just going to Beckett.com and typing in names and seeing what comes up. Lindros was a great answer, but after the baseball filter he had a couple of GUs with Piazza. Now this was well after his playing career, but technically he never really played so...

I am interested in the guy that has one card from a major manufactorer and thats it.

billwaltonsbeard · February 12, 2009 3:57AM

herb washington?

CDsNuts · February 12, 2009 4:03AM

Half the 1992 Bowman set.

matthewbschultz83 · February 12, 2009 4:03AM

Do you count his 75 Topps Mini and 75 O-Pee-Chee as well? The great Pinch Runner Card....LOVE the design on 75 Topps.

lostdart58 · February 12, 2009 4:31AM

Larry Landreth
Sam Hinds

julen23 · February 12, 2009 4:35AM

these responses ROCK!!!

i have no response.

matthewbschultz83 · February 12, 2009 4:45AM

Larry Landreth qualifies. The only time he was ever on cardboard was the 78 Topps 4 in 1.

Sam Hinds has a handful of minor league cards.

rube26105 · February 12, 2009 5:07AM

prob more than half of the 52 topps rookies baseball from every year so far

stown · February 12, 2009 5:12AM

Rick Williams.

Did I win yet?

matthewbschultz83 · February 12, 2009 5:15AM

Not only does he have 11 cards, but he has 2 Topps cards...

You sir, are not the winner.

SoonerCowboy · February 12, 2009 5:28AM

John Elway

gregmo32 · February 12, 2009 5:29AM

Sid Finch.

Was he in the Traded set or the Regular Topps set?

Brick · February 12, 2009 5:33AM

Did Harry Agganis have any card other than 55 Topps?

stown · February 12, 2009 5:35AM

<< Not only does he have 11 cards, but he has 2 Topps cards...

Oh yeah, well, which Rick Willams was I talking about?!?

bigwilli · February 12, 2009 5:37AM

Phil McCracken

matthewbschultz83 · February 12, 2009 5:37AM

Elway's a winner if you count his 82 Minor League Card. He has since had other cards from 99 Just and 05 Topps Fan Favorites. Beckett has no record of a Sid Finch card. Harry Agganis had 2 regional issues in the 50s and a trio of Red Sox themed card since then.

TheTalkingWalnut · February 12, 2009 5:40AM

Jackie St Pierre?

billwaltonsbeard · February 12, 2009 5:50AM

<< Beckett has no record of a Sid Finch card. >>

Did you check Haden "Sid" Finch?

fandango · February 12, 2009 5:53AM

still have not heard the "correct" answer i had in mind....

billwaltonsbeard · February 12, 2009 5:55AM

How about this guy?

CrimsonTider · February 12, 2009 5:56AM

George Herbert walker Bush, 1990 Topps and worth a ton

matthewbschultz83 · February 12, 2009 5:56AM

No luck on Finch, he was never a real player so it doesn't matter anyway...

Tell us who you wanted Fandango. The suspense is killing me.

<< Did Harry Agganis have any card other than 55 Topps? >>

I thought that was a worthy answer so I looked it up - he also appears in 1956 Adventure. The 1955 Topps card should be in the All Time Red Sox set. The guy was a Boston legend. He has streets and the BU hockey arena named after him in Boston. My dad spoke about him reverently.

lawnmowerman · February 12, 2009 6:00AM

Surely I have won by now.
