Players who are more known for a card than their career.

After a little more thought, there alot of players who ended up on multi-player rookie cards that would fall into this category. And as great as Jerry Koosman might have been, he probably falls into this category as well. I'm hoping to avoid any multi-player suggestions with this list though..

Wagner, at least to the general population.

Good call. He crossed my mind, and I was wondering if anyone else would even consider him on a list like this. I do agree, he probably belongs here.

How about Benny Bengough and Dick Hoblitzell...

What about Mr.Magee!

I think most of the short prints fall into this category, including the T206 Big 6. This would include even important HOFers like Nap Lajoie who would not be as famous except for his 33 Goudey card or Lindstrom for US Caramel.

Ten Million, the name definitely helps.

To me, just about every player profiled in "The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book".

At the last National in Baltimore, I bought a baseball autographed by Carlton Willey, just because their brief blurb about him meant so much to me.

1. Ivy Andrews - George C. Miller
2. Fatty Arbarkle- Zeenut
3. Guz Zinn- Baltimore News
4. Mays- NY Nationals Kalamazoo Bats
6. Childs- Just So Chewing Tobacco
7. Baltimore Tip Left Matthewson
8. All the PCL old judge cards
9. All the players in PSA8 in 1949Bowman PCL
10. Niles in J+K

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of examples, we can site.

I may add Plank. He was a great HOF pitcher, but his T206 is legendary.

To early to say Strasburg?
