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

To early to say Strasburg?

T206 Joe Doyle

I disagree agree with the Zeenut Fatty Arbuckle, even my wife knew who he was. She said "isn't he the guy who killed a girl..." Alas, the story isn't true (a girl did die but not like many think) but nonetheless he is much more well known for that incident than he is for a card.

What about Harry Aggainis from the '55 Topps set?
Drew

Mike Mitchell and Andy Pafko

I realize Pafko had a decent career, but most don't know his stats. Most vintage collectors do know the player on card #1 in 1952.
