2021 Bowman Draft Jack Leiter card

SleepyWill · 02-16-2023, 02:23 PM

1994 Upper Deck series 1 Con't.

Obviously you have the Mantle / Griffey, but would had loved the following as well. No stand alone individual autos, just the dual and one set of the three HoF's at the time.

Mays / Griffey
Williams / Griffey
Aaron / Griffey
Mantle / Mays
Mantle / Williams

Mantle/Aaron/Mays

This has probably been mentioned multiple times already but a T206 Joe Jackson would've been incredible.

somethingclever · 02-16-2023, 11:53 PM

1994 Upper Deck Nolan Ryan. They had inserts, and he appeared in Collectors Choice but no base card in the main set.

Dual auto of Shoeless Joe Jackson and Frank Thomas

Robles Fan · 02-17-2023, 12:10 AM

Sometimes I wish the inaugural release of 2001 Topps Heritage didn't come out so early on in the year so that we could've had RC's of Pujols and Ichiro from the set.

DioBrando · 02-17-2023, 09:37 AM

86 or 87 topps Paul O'neill...crazy his 1st topps card was 88

MoreToppsPlease · 02-17-2023, 09:40 AM

A PWCC/Moser card entitled “Cut Ups: A Case Study in Hobby Fraud”

Naturally every copy would be trimmed and altered.

Maybe "we" wouldn't, but I would.

Since 2023 Topps had the opportunity to fix this but didn’t, can we please make this happen? I have a OCD longing for this to exist in any form really.

I wish topps would have started making tiffany cards in 1980.

Imagine, henderson, ripken, boggs, gwynn and ryno tiffany rookies

Something newer:

2020 Finest Flashbacks Randy Arozarena RC

He won Rookie of the Year in 2019 but had zero cards, because Topps.

1993 Finest Derek Jeter (and the inevitable refractor). That would have been HUGE.

I'm pretty sure this would have been the biggest card of the 90s if it was created. There are a few Griffeys I could argue that would rival it, but I don't think they'd quite get there.

His 54T is one of the most iconic cards in history. What if he had a 54Bowman example?
