Great athletes with no cards
Thanks to issues like 60s and 70s Paninis, Mira Tuttosport, SI for Kids, Stadion from Czechoslovakia, Svijet Sporta from Yugoslavia, and the amazing Sportscasters, most great athletes even in the lesser sports have a card. A few who appear not to have any, at least not that I've seen, come to mind, the great maybe GOAT figure skater Yuna Kim, and all time great gymnast Svetlana Boginskaya. Doubtless there are others.

Possibly Dennis Hare, an important and early Beach Volleyball player?
Are there online checklists for the Panini and the other foreign sets you mention? I could throw out a number of names, but figure many of them do in fact have cards that I don't know about. TCDB.COM is helpful but by no means complete. Last edited by wdmullins; 03-21-2022 at 12:07 PM. Reason: added sentence |

Willie Oree who broke the colour barrier in the NHL comes to mind. Probably lots of great Negro League players who never had cards.

O'Ree has a team issue from the 50s.

I could only find one trading card printed just for a single event for the greatest strength athlete of all time Big Z(Zydrunas Savickas).
Next time I get back into making customs I need to make a cool set of the best strongmen from the last few decades. |

I'd bet many (most?) of the pre-1976 players in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame do not have cards.

Speaking on more strength sports. One of my favorite sports to watch is arm wrestling. It's rise in popularity over the past 5 years has been mind boggling. Certainly the sharpest growth in popularity I've ever seen from a sport. Unfortunately cards have not followed. Only the goat Of the sport John Brzenk, has a card from Goodwin champions from the early 2010s. Devon larratt, Dennis cyplenkov, Levan saginashvili, Dave Chaffee and tons more have nothing.

He is also on the 1962 Topps Bruins team card
As far as i know, this is his only career-contemporary Topps/OPC NHL issue and is his rookie. I think there are some minors cards.

I don't think I ever found a card for Jason Belmonte, one of the very few top bowlers of all time, or Giba, voted the greatest men's volleyball player ever.

Speaking of the power/strength sports, how about Magnus Ver Magnussen?
