Default Topps Trivia for a Saturday Morning
My trip through Topps sets made me curious about something.

From 1952 through 2005 (more than half of which was 1980 or before which is why I placed this in this forum) nearly every Topps base set contained AT LEAST 1 Hall of Fame rookie card OR 1 Hall of Fame final card (i.e. in 1977, they featured both Andre Dawson and Brooks Robinson).

Question - name the only 2 sets from 1952 through 2005 which contained neither a Hall of Fame rookie or Hall of Fame final card (try to do it from memory!).

I used 2005 as the cut-off because after that, no rookies are eligible yet.

I have no idea what the answer is, but isn't 1966 the last year Sandy Koufax had a Topps card?

I'm going to go modern on this one, though I admit that I'm probably missing one of the obvious, modern HOF inductees that I just cannot bring to the forefront of my mind right now: 2002 and 2004.

I think 1970 is also right but not sure about last card.

1970 is one (although there's an outside chance Munson will get in one day, I suppose).

1966 has the rookies of Palmer, Jenkins and Sutton and the final of Koufax.

1984 has the finals of Jenkins and Palmer.

2002 - First of Mauer and last of Gwynn.

2004 - Last of Edgar Martinez.

1953 - Last of Johnny Mize

One more to go....

We have a winner!

Yeah - C.C. will get in.

Can't promise you cash and prizes, but at least you have the admiration of your fellows.

It took enough guesses that I am not very impressed lol. 53T is also Paige last card I realize.

What year had 6 different HOF rookies? Not all Topps.
