It is also nice because they are also two of my favorite players after Billy Williams and Ron Santo.

Yeah, if Lee McPhail had left Baltimore a year earlier than he did before becoming the Yankees GM, Robinson would probably have been traded to NY in '66, instead of to the O's. That would have made his cards more popular than those of Maris, Jackson, Winfield, Rodriguez, or any other Yankee star purloined from another team, with the obvious exception of Ruth.
