So no Johnston cookies but those are more than made up for by Bell Brand Potato Chips and Morrell Meats. Plus Duke was included in some cool 50's sets that had few players, namely Hires, Home Run Derby and 1959 Bazooka. I think I passed on him just because of cost, but he's a great representative of 50's and early 60's cards (a couple of late 40's too).

Don't forget that Snider is also in the 1953-54 Briggs Meats set, a tough Washington, DC, regional issue.

Hank Aaron seems to show up in every set ! Kahn's , bazooka, all the topps inserts and test issues ... I don't think he is in any Kellogg's sets.. That's weird !

I think Bob Feller has a really diverse group of cards that covers his career, from 1937 O-Pee-Chee to the 1956 Topps issue, with numerous regular issues, regional issues, premiums, and cutouts inbetween.

Aaron 1954-1976 Topps.

How about pete rose. Career spanning 63-86.

Nolan Ryan would deserve consideration but I think the desirability is diminished by his career going a bit longer into the junk wax era.
