Some RC trivia.
Steve Carlton -- only postwar HOF player with no second year card, I think. Tony Larussa and Lou Piniella -- multiyear gap between rookie and second year cards. Bobby Cox -- RC as a player is his ONLY player card (other than earlier Venezuelan).

Probably several examples of this but Eckersley is on a leaders card same year as his base RC. Though I guess that raises the issue of is his 1975 SSPC really his RC.

Also add Don Baylor and Ron Cey to the consecutive year rookie cards parade.

I mentioned before maybe but Gaylord Perry is the only one I know of who went from his own RC to a shared card the next year.
