This is a list of all the Topps card #100 which has traditionally been a card of honor over the years. I know Topps has used the X00 cards for stars each year and the X50 cards as the next tier for 'semi-stars', but I'll just do a list of Card #100. Maybe I'll get the steam to do a list for Card #200, 300, 400, etc. This was a fun list and I took the opportunity to provide my opinion on their choice of player as well as the designs.

NHL,NBA,NFL,MLB players and head coaches (MLB managers) who participated in four or more decades. Combined service as a player and coach/manager does not qualify.

No cards exist for NFL coaches:

Wade Phillips 1985-2013
Pete Carroll 1994-2021, active

Recent additions, Willie Mays and Satchel Paige (Negro Leagues declared as MLB)

Self explanatory...

Hockey cards produced by major companies during the "Boom" years when "almost" everything was over produced, yet today, are highly sought after (i.e., valuable) or almost never appear on the secondary market. This list may include variants (ERR/COR), but only those confirmed to exist.

As a Tony Gwynn super collector I have seen thousand of his cards. Some of them are really nice, some look legendary, and then some of them are less then flattering. This list deals with what I consider my personal favorite cards by year.

Presented by Sport Magazine 1967-1989
Presented by the NFL, and renamed Peter Rozelle Trophy 1990-

Multiple Winners:

I'm splitting my CPBL foreigners list down to how I do my NPB foreigners lists. By doing the individual teams.

These are the cards from the seasons where the depicted player won NFL/AFL MVP. For the players who didn’t have a card that year I used the closest card to said year. LL - Led League NFLR - NFL Record

Autographs are usually the smallest of the three specialty lists I keep, after Relics and Serially numbered cards.

I've never tracked how many autographs, relics and serially numbered cards I've ever gotten in a year before. I decided to do that in 2017, hopefully I will remember to add each one to these lists as I add them to the Database.
Of the three I expect this list to be the largest.

Of the three "specials", Serial Numbered cards are my favorite, I am addicted to them, and I should hit 5000 in my collection during 2019.

I still like to get relic cards.

Tracking the specials again. This list is for Autographs, traditionally the smallest of the three lists.

Usually the middle sized of the three lists.

Just a list of my current autographs and relics

Players with money related names

As the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) was forming and strengthening, the players realized that Topps, with a monopoly on producing baseball cards, was paying them peanuts for their likenesses. As a move to put some pressure on the Brooklyn-based bubble gum giant, the players decided to not pose for Topps photographers in 1968. The result was that the 1969 set contains many older photos- taken two, three, and sometimes, more years earlier.

House of Commons or the hall of fame for the most ubiquitous cards (Listed by year order). Expect lots of junk wax here! Each card is the card found in the most collections for each set with cards listed in the top 500. It can a base common, but it can also be a star.

Sometimes the card companies make mistakes. Highlighted here are the best ones.

People With Cards I have Actually Met In Person...Not Counting Autograph Sessions...that would be cheating :). Hope to add to this list as I hopefully meet more, or my memory kicks in.
