Since vrooomed has a list for MLB players on teams they never played for, I decided to do one for the NFL. Feel free to let me know of others to add.

All 61 Japanese MLB players rookie cards, from both America and Japan.

Many players have many, many rookies from the same year and other brands not listed here. My order of preference for choosing rookie cards were as follows:

Japanese rookies:
Year, BBM preferred (except for Murakami). Lowest card number chosen if BBM issued multiple cards of the player in the same set.
American rookies:
Topps base preferred, then bowman, then other major releases (Upper Deck, Donruss, Fleer/Fleer Tradition), then more minor sets released by the main companies (Topps Finest, Bowman's Best), and if no major releases exist for a player, then the earliest minor league card.

Here are my favorite cards in my collection for the people on my favorites list. My favorites list is right now at 110 persons. Cards may change as I enter more into my collection or add more people to my favorites list. There are a few people on my favorites list who do not have any cards catalogued in my collection, eventually that will change when I come upon some of their cards.

Cards that depict players who have completed a unassisted triple play.

Cards that depict players hitting for either the natural cycle or reverse cycle.

Natural cycle: Single Double Triple Home Run in that order.

Reverse cycle: Home Run Triple Double Single in that order.

Cards that depict throwback uniforms.

All sports welcome.

For baseball, cards depicting negro league teams are acceptable.

Cards of pitchers that have thrown a perfect game.

MLB only.

Started by the company in 1993, and was held annually at the Slamboree PPV in May, and the event was given the "Legends Reunion" brand name. Along with the in-ring ceremony, there were other dignitaries brought out to help honor the inductees.

Dropped after 1995, presumably to concentrate solely on the current product, which was white hot in the midst of the nWo angle. It was never resurrected. It would appear that the WCW Hall was attempting to be more "all-inclusive" to the sport than the WWF's, which was created at the same time, and concentrated on the inductee's time with the promotion. Only a few inductees, like Dusty Rhodes, Ole Anderson, and Wahoo McDaniel had made HOF caliber impacts (both in and outside of the ring) on the territory (Pre-WCW it was Jim Crockett Promotions/Mid-Atlantic under the NWA brand)/promotion through the years.

As far as I know, the honoree plaques were on display at the CNN/Turner headquarters in Atlanta. It is not clear what became of them since the WWF purchase of WCW, and all of its assets in 2001.

Cards that depict somebody getting something signed by someone.

I'd like to dedicate a list to the moments in sports that were special for a city or country and lifted them up or gave them hope when they needed it the most. With sports returning amid this time when the US is trying to battle through this COVID-19 crisis, hopefully sports can give us something to cheer about again soon.

Players who probably could have had a lead or supporting role in all of the 80's Revenge of the Nerds flicks. Basically guys we can categorize as "Nerd Nimbus". The ultimate nerds of baseball.

I'm Not Who You Think I Am! ... Names that will deceive you ... A work in progress ... (Suggestions are welcome)

All hilarious names of baseballers, hoopsters, footballer, etc. throughout history.

Jerseys that were worn on NBA Hardwood Classics night

The NBA introduced "Thowback" jerseys during the 1996-97 season to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the league. They have remained a popular nod to history to this very day. I'm going to attempt to document every card that shows a throwback on the front...at least as long as it's part of my collection. A work in progress. To my knowledge of the 30 teams in the NBA, the Charlotte Hornets, New Orleans Pelicans and Minnesota Timberwolves are the only teams to have never worn throwbacks.

Inspired by a forum post, this is a set numbered 1-800 (if possible) consisting entirely of St Louis Cardinals, major releases only, one card per player. A virtual collection only, since all of these cards are already wanted for as complete of a STL PC as possible.

These are the rookie cards of every player/coach named to the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team.

Cards of players with the same name as a more famous player...

A list of pro athletes I've randomly run into in public, i.e. not at a signing, planned appearance, or sporting event they were participating in.

I'm going to start the hunt for cards where Jerry Rice in the photo of the card but not named. Please help by letting me know if you see them.

Cards that I need only one or two of to complete set or Phillies teamset.

A list of my current colored and serial numbered cards

The last card of every Topps set.

Updated 06/20/18: Added cards from 2018 base set.

Hockey cards which depict a player's head on another player's body

Baseball players from the Woodland Hills School District, Pittsburgh

There are many players with lengthy careers with a single franchise, and plenty of those have been with franchises that changed uniform styles, colors, or both as frequent as styles tend to change.

But there are a few long tenured players whom seemingly spent their entire time with a franchise that made only one or two different changes.

And sometimes, whether its just before the sweeping change to a long standing uniform style happens, or the player's last year or so was played after the franchise made a change from a long standing style; it does seem weird to see the player in a different style, even if its all with the same franchise you'd associate the player with.

Note: This does not include any Retro/Turn Back The Clock/Tribute sort of one time only or an alternative style for specific home games.

As well as returning players as managers, coaches, Spring Training Instructors, etc.

Or, as often was the case, a card depicting a retired player in an Old-Timers Day, or like event, clad in the team's uniform style of the day.

"Hey, I know that guy from that show! I didn't know he played ball."

Ballots formed from panel of experts' selection of 100 greatest players for the 20th Century.

Revealed prior to the 1999 All-Star Game in Boston 7/13.

Fans voted for the top two players for the infield positions and catcher, as well as the top nine outfielders and top six pitchers. A Blue Ribbon Panel added five more that didn't garner initial votes.

The team was revealed in a ceremony prior to Game 2 of the 1999 World Series in Atlanta on 10/24.

One feature I wish this site had was to filter cards just to show goalies in the hockey sets. To make a list with only goalies from all sets would be quite daunting and time consuming. Instead I will make a list of goalies from the OPC sets of the 1980s.
This era had a mixture of masks, cages and the modern day combo mask. Unfortunately the photography in the 80s OPC was rather pathetic and marred by frequent warm-up pictures.
I will only feature the base cards.

I now have at least one card of every Heisman Trophy winner from 1968 through 2018.

Gary Beban (1967) does not have a qualifying card listed on TCDB. Waiting on Joe Burrow (2019).

There are more than 1000 people who have played in the NBA but did not get an NBA card. Some, however, do appear on other player's cards in the background or defending the player. A work in progress.
College cards do not count but other professional leagues do.

Photos showing the kids as an intentional part of the shot...not just as fans in the stands. Often spending time with their athlete parent, but it does not have to be the athlete's child.

Please leave a comment with recommendations for cards to add.

NHL realigned into geographic divisions in 1981 and lasted until 1993. Sure this division didn't produce a Stanley Cup winner, but it was sure fun to watch.

My Goal is to complete the Topps sets from 1980 to Present
