Yes !, thats it Kornice...I probably got the question a bit chopped up...but there was something about his 3rd rookie card on 68T ..I thought the 1st two were not him..or maybe the 1st and 3rd were not him ??

The last 2 guys I was looking for in question #3, "In the 5 year period between 1968 and 1972, three (3) guys appreared on Topps cards with 5 different teams. Name each of them."
In addition to Hoyt Wilhelm (answered correctly), there were Donn Clendenon (68 Pit, 69 Mon, 69 Hou, 70/71 NYM, 72 Stl) and Jose Cardenal (68 Cal, 69 Cle, 70/71 Stl, 72 Mil, 72 ChiC)

Year 1, this guy appeared on not one, but two solo rookie cards in the same set.
Year 2, he appeared on a solo card.
Year 3, he didn't appear on a card.
Year 4, he appeared on a multi player rookie stars card.
Year 5 he appeared on a league leader card.
Who is this player (and how did he appear on two rookie cards in one set)?

Hi,

The answer to the last question should be Gary Peters. In 1960 his picture was switched with J.C. Martin, so he had his own card with Martin's picture, and his picture was on Martin's card. In 1961 he had his own card that had the Rookie Star logo, in 1962he was skipped, in 1963 he was on a multi-player rookie card- and that was the year he finally stuck with the White Sox- so in 1964 he had his own card and he was on a League Leader card as well. Jim Hicks had a similar situation: regular card in 1967 w/White Sox, dual rookie card in 1969 w/Cardinals, and a regular card w/Angels in 1970. He then had a few cards issued while playing in Japan with the Hiroshima Carp.

Regarding George Korince, his first 1967 rookie card with the Tigers showed Ike Brown, and a second rookie card was issued later in 1967 with his correct photo. In 1968 he is again on a Tigers rookie card.

Gary Peters is correct.
