Topps trivia (league leader edition)
 
Topps issued league leader cards from 1961 to 1984.

RULES: These questions will relate to those cards and players who had a base card at least 5 times in those years. Appearing on the front of the card counts, they didn't have to be THE leader.

Answer what you can. No searches other than your collection.

1. Who has the most HR's and never appeared on any leader card? Second most?

2. Which members (see rules above) of the 3000 hit club never appeared on any leader card?

3. Which members (see rules above) of the 3000 strikeouts club never appeared on any leader card?

4. Which HoFers (see rules above) never appeared on any leader card?

I'm sure Hammerin' Hank was on the 1972 HR Leaders card, so he's out.

Don Sutton?

brob28 04-27-2015 05:50 PM

How about Frank Robinson?

nolemmings 04-27-2015 06:06 PM

Frank won the Triple Crown in 1966, so he's gonna be on a few.

Robin Yount was a 3000 hit man and HOF who I believe was not on a LL card.

39special 04-27-2015 06:07 PM

How about P.Niekro and Mazeroski for #4

nolemmings 04-27-2015 06:15 PM

Molitor and Brock were 3000 hit men and HOFers who I believe were not on a LL card.

Vintagevault13 04-27-2015 06:35 PM

I think Brock was on a Stolen Bases LL card(s).

I don't think Al Kaline ever appeared on a leader card.

Econteachert205 04-27-2015 06:55 PM

I think maybe molitor and yount?

quitcrab 04-27-2015 06:55 PM

Could be wrong but I felt like Kaline was on a 68 leader card

brewing 04-27-2015 07:46 PM

Hank Aaron, Eddie Murray (81), G. Perry, Clemente, Winfield, Sutton, P. Niekro, Kaline, Brock, and F. Robinson have all appeared on a leader card.

Molitor and Yount qualify for #2 and 4. Mazeroski for #4.

I'll give the answers tomorrow. Any more guesses?

Robs70sCards 04-27-2015 07:56 PM

I'll go with Bert Blyleven for #3

brett 75 04-27-2015 08:34 PM

Home runs
 
How about Duke Snider for HRs . Don't believe he appeared on any leaders from 61-64 . Still thinking on the other answers .Brett
