Hello everyone,
This is my first post on the forums so I hope it's a good one. I saw an Instagram post discussing the best league leaders cards with all hall of famers, and the examples were the 1963 NL HR leaders with 5 hall of famers in Aaron, Mays, Banks, Robinson, and Cepeda, along with the 1984 NL career strikeouts leaders with Carlton, Ryan, and Seaver. I thought this was an interesting topic and the best one I could come up with was the 2013 Topps AL batting leaders with 3 potential first ballot HOFers in Miggy, Trout, and Beltre. Let me know what others you think rival these cards in hall of fame star power because I think this is a fun topic to discuss.
-Jamie

The 1966 Topps NL Batting Leaders card (#215) with Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays is a personal favorite - it's the only Leaders card with (IMO) all inner-circle baseball and hobby HOFers. I've got a couple in my collection and I'm sure I'll pick up a few more in the future that catch me eye.
And while it's not a Leaders card, as aTwins fan the 1968 Topps Super Stars (#490) card with Harmon Killebrew, Mickey Mantle, and Willie Mays sure packs a bunch of star power into one card.

At a show on Saturday, I picked up the 74 Topps HR leaders, # 202, just because it had 2 HOFers on it - Stargell and Reggie. They're both on the RBI leaders, # 203 as well.

I have 1964 Topps #9, which is Aaron, McCovey, Mays, Cepeda.
-------------------------------
I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

I recently picked up both of those cards. They are great and were the first ones that came to my mind as well.

Some decent trios here...
There were probably lots of these in 1970s hockey and basketball sets. For some of a more recent vintage:
That's four of the top ten scorers in NHL history on that last one!

Sounds like a great subject for a User List.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

I don't have much to add, but have definitely had those very thoughts. Now the leaders cards don't even say what the person led in on the front. I miss these cards.
But mostly, welcome to the Forum and great topic.

C2Cigars,
I like that idea and I made a List, but I'm not sure how to add cards to it. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.
