Fence Busters, Belters, Maulers & other multi-player cards

Although I don't have many, I do enjoy these cards as well. (Net 54 link below in sig)

This card, Mays, Clemente and Aaron, I seen fetched big bucks in a PSA 9 recently at one of the A/H's.

Great cards that are often under appreciated in my opinion. I have shared in other threads that I love the 58 Mantle / Aaron ws batting heroes card. But many are a great chance to own a card with 2 or more HOFers at a fraction of the price a card of just one of them.

Like I wrote in my net54 link below, "One of my all time favorites"

I agree with your other statement as well. They are perfect for the budget minded collector, but prices seem to be rising on them all the time.

That Clemente-Aaron-Mays is one of my all-time favorite cards. It's the only Topps card with all three of them together.

I wasn't aware of that?

Especially glad now that I own a copy!

Agree completely on these cards, they are awesome.

The 59' Topps multi cards have always been my favorites by far. I also think Fleer did an incredible job with those type of cards in the early 80s.

[Bigdaddy]

I've always loved the '62 Managers' Dream and '57 Dodgers' Sluggers (not mine pictured). Both are hard to find with good registration.

Topps tried to get as much mileage as possible out of some of these photo sessions...

As Justin mentioned, Fleer did some cool things with multi-player cards in 1983…

I'd love to own a copy of the 57 Dodgers Sluggers some day. Here are my favorite 1964 Venezuelan multi player cards in my collection:

My favorite card as a 10 year kid was the 1982 Fleer Steve & Carlton, Carlton & Fisk. I was a big fan of lefty and liked the play on words.

This thread might end up costing me money.
My favorite is Casey Teaches from 1964. As a Mets fan since 1973 it's perfect for me that it pairs the legend with a very young version of a player who I grew up watching.
Other favorites are the 1964 Tops in NL with Mays & Aaron (it would be a perfect card if it were 1957 when Willie was still in NY), 1957 Dodgers Sluggers, and 1966 Clemente, Aaron, and Mays (although it would have been nice if they had waited to snap Willie after he was done checking his phone).

Thanks for the thread.

Thanks for the thread.

"Casey Teaches" is a classic. 1964 was the peak year for the Old Guy Tutoring Young Player genre, with "Hitting Area" and "Bill's Got It" as well.

When Fleer came out in 1981, I was thrilled to see the multi-player cards back out again. I thought they were the coolest thing ever!

Not to turn this into a League Leader thread, but the '63 NL HR Leaders is I believe the only card with 5 HOFer's on it (Aaron, Mays, Banks, Robinson, Cepeda)!

Yup!

[Mickey Mays]

My favorite is from 1966 Topps #52 Power Plus, Phillies Wes Covington and Johnny Callison.

Interestingly Covington’s single card #484 has Wes in a Cubs uniform, two Covington cards two different teams same year.

Covington got traded to the Cubs in January, so I guess they'd already printed the 1st series card with him in the Phils uniform. Same thing with the 1963 "Buc Blasters" card, which features Dick Stuart in his Pirates uniform with Clemente, Burgess and Skinner. The back mentions Stuart was traded in the winter and "the fans in Forbes Field will miss his explosive power this summer."

Amazing that Banks was able to hit 37 home runs that season despite missing a substantial portion of his right jaw
