Not the players I am looking for. Continue your search, and I'll bet one you will get the right answer.

Thanks,

HINT.....
In the mid 1950's, the team of the T206 guy faced the team of the TOPPS guy in an exciting World Series

Bob "Dusty" Rhodes pitched for the Cleveland Indians and had a t206 card. James "Dusty" Rhodes was the World Series hero for the Giants beating the Indians in the 1954 World Series.

I don't have a James "Dusty" Rhodes card to show. Perhaps, someone will post one here.

Here is my 1955 Topps #1.

And a Rhoades

I had no clue until that last hint. I knew there was a Rhoades Cleveland in my t206 set and of course Dusty Rhodes killed the Indians in the 1954 World Series going 4 for 6 with 2 HRs and 7 RBIs.

Hi Chad

Thanks much for posting your card of James "Dusty" Rhodes.

And, the T3 card of Bob "Dusty" Rhoades.

I'm sure you know that this T3 Rhoades card is one of the toughest cards to find in the T3 set.

Hi Chad

My mind gets so involved in my vintage cards that I've become forgetful regarding my 1950's stuff.

I clearly remember the James "Dusty" Rhodes performance in the 1954 World Series. But, I forgot
that he is the #1 card in the 1955 set.

Certain Bob "Dusty" Rhoades cards are considerably tougher to find than other common T-cards.

Net54 member, Rob McKenzie, has searched for many years for the 1910 COUPON Rhoades card to complete his 1910 COUPON set.

T3 set collectors will tell you that the Rhoades (arm extended) card is very, very difficult to find.

I think when Cleveland sent Rhoades to the Kansas City Blues (Feb 1910) American Lithographic subsequently stopped printing him.
