Topps League Leader - Trivia
My trivia questions have been fairly well received, so I'm offering another. You wanna try Googling the answer? Good luck with that. This answer requires thinking, and maybe some looking thru your sets (which is fun, regardless of whether you come up with the answer or not...
Postwar Baseball cards (pre-1980): There have been 11 regular issue baseball cards whereby that player was also depicted on a League Leader card in the same set... with a different team. Gimme the regular issue card (player, year and team), and (of course) I'd want the team he represented on his League Leader card. Legitimately. No trick question. Go.

Some should be obvious (think guys traded off good seasons), others are ridiculously hard (some very obscure players have appeared on League Leader cards).

I know one is a 1966 Leaders card of Hank Aaron listed as an Atlanta Braves and wearing a Milwaukee Braves cap. Probably others like that as well.

No no no. No trick question. The leader cards in question, players are depicted with different franchises than their regular issue cards from the same set. Legitimately.

Okay a start. Probably the easiest of the 11... but once you get one, the others fall into place.

Luis Aparicio 1963
SB leader with the White Sox, regular card with the Orioles
But there was no SB leader card, was there? Last edited by jstef; 08-27-2018 at 12:54 PM. |

It must at least partly involve the vagaries of expansion years, yes?

Looking at one right now (I think)
Dick Stuart...65 league leader in RBI as Red Sox but he was someplace in the NL in '65. I should look it up. LOL

Correct (that was one of the tougher ones). So far we have:
1) 1963 Runnels (Hou / Bos) 2) 1966 F. Robinson (Balt / Cin) |

In hunting for answers I found a guy where Topps used his same pic on Leaders card and regular card. That can be a side trivia question here.

Your hint helped a lot. Jim Bunning also in 1968. Leaders with Phils and regular with Bucs.

BTW -- My answer is correct -- your question specified different TEAM not different FRANCHISE. Sorry but I will play semantics on trivia questions -- having been paid on several occasions to write those and hearing all the objections

I would argue that the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Braves were the same team. I understand the thought process, as many trivia questions use silly tricks that make them less trivia and more annoying. I think you understand the spirit of the question though.
