A recent pick-up of mine (and subsequent searches on eBay) has made me realize the incredible dearth of high-end Mariano Rivera cards on eBay. He's widely considered the best reliever of all time, and although he's a reliever, his stuff (especially the autographs) sell real well, so it's not like there's a lack of interest in his stuff.

Any other players who are developed stars who don't have much stuff out there? Also, any Rivera collectors? (I seem to recall Jastermereel collecting Rivera and having some sick Rivera stuff.)

best rookie i can think of is definitely the bowman....but the nicest cards i used to collect back in the day were Finest, bowman's best stuff....take a look, maybe topps gold label.

He's not a superstar or anything, but try and find Derek Lowe stuff...I think he has an auto in that 1995 Old Judge set, but I don't think he has any pack certified autos or GU stuff...could be wrong, but I've searched for stuff off and on since he signed with the Braves and the Old Judge auto is the only thing I've seen.

Larry Walker is a guy who will get HOF consideration and has very few autographs relative to other stars of his generation, he also doesn't have a lot of super high-end stuff that's unsigned.

Jarcar sure has a lot of Walker stuff. I don't think he has the numbers neccessary for the Hall, but he was one of the better all-around players of his time. I'd take a Walker auto for he PC anytime.

I just looked and Walker has a little more high end stuff than I thought, 14 barrels, 5 logos, 1 nameplate, 1 bat knob, and some laundry tags. Walker was one of my favorite players, a 5-tool player. I personally think he should get in, career .300+/.400/.500+ guy with nice SB numbers and Gold Gloves. There's a good shot he won't get in, probably the Rockies factor being the biggest reason.

It would be interesting to see just what bigger names have signed the fewest certs in products. Also, who has signed the most.

Mariano has some nice stuff out there but collectors don't seem to sell it much. But yes he does have alot less than most. But I did snag one :D . Also bernie Williams doesn't have many either.

Crazy to think that Gordon Beckham has more autographed cards then all of these guys combined.
