On the NASCAR/Stock Car front, an argument can be made for Dale "The Intimidator" Earnhardt as the GOAT. Richard "The King" Petty raced in 1,184 Cup series races run over 35 years, with 200 wins and seven championships. Earnhardt had 676 races run over 27 years with 100 wins and 7 championships as well. His career was cut short by a fatal accident at Daytona. Anyhow, both were on postcards years before their 'rookie' cards. Here are Petty's first card from 1962 (his third season; with his father Lee) and Earnhardt's 1979 team issued postcard from his rookie season:

Not the GOAT perhaps, but a key figure in track and field history. 1952 Swedish card of Roger Bannister, earliest I have seen.

Haha, no. One of my grandfather's cousins was a bowling pro, so he'd probably be miffed at the oversight, but I haven't gotten to that one yet. I think I have rookie cards for about half of the people on my list, but I've never taken a picture of the group.

I'd love to see pics, as you might have guessed I have similar interests.
