Show a tough card another player collector would covet, as they share space with your player.

[mrmopar]

What I mean by this is a multiplayer card that has 1 or more players on it. Presumably you have it because it checks a box in your player collection, but who are you potentially holding hostage, so to speak?

I will have to do some digging, but to get things started, I'll share a base card that is holding me hostage from getting my Ken McMullen RC!

This one isn't a big card or anything but it's got a funny story. When I won it on eBay a couple years ago the seller was nice and sent me a message asking what player I bought it for so he could toss in some freebies. I said Mark Mulder, and his response was basically, "Well, I wasn't prepared for that answer but I'll find something." haha

Obviously the Roger Clemens in spot #1 on this 92 uncut sheet is the most important lol, but some crazy Jeter collectors might care more about the Jeter RC peeking out in the bottom row.

This is interesting. I wasnt aware there were copies with no MVP foil stamp on front. Learn something new everyday

Great replies all, exactly what I was talking about. I have a few Garvey themed cards like this, thinking a Gil Hodges Auto is one of the best from my collection. Of course, I am equally enthused about the Gil, so maybe it's not the best example.

Dave Stenhouse played for a local adult baseball league in my small town in the 1950s, then went on to be the first rookie to start an All-Star Game. I volunteer for the team and I interviewed him for our program two years ago. I'd love to get his rookie but he shares it with Jim Bouton making a decent copy worth more than a common card.

In the same note, I pity anyone who collect Jerry Koosman.

Bo Belinsky has a part in that, as does the fact that those Rookie Parades are all hi numbers, some are Sps too I believe. Any other year and it's probably no problem, as Bouton was certainly not a high dollar guy himself otherwise.

Not sure who the Kazmir/Young/Upton/Crawford/Huff collectors of the world are, but this one is tough---six players, on a card numbered to 10.

And then this 1/1 includes Jorge Cantu, whom @r2d2 collects:

I don't know about covet but UD paired Griffey with some bangers and not so much's in the 2000's
Used to have a ton more

Multi-player cards are one of the soft lines I've drawn around my Sizemore collection, but I always wanted one because I love the 2010 Exquisite set. Despite being numbered to 25, there are probably only 2 or 3 copies out there, as the patch cards were not supposed to be released in 2010 Upper Deck base brand but a couple copies of each did get out. Hopefully I will be able to snag a copy someday.

Twelve years later, it shows 3 guys who had much different roads to and through the Majors and life in general, before, during, and after ball.

Here's another UD Reflections. Not as bad as the @bongo870 Jeter / Greene

 

[mrmopar]

That Jeter/Greene is just shameful. Greene probably doesn't even collect his own cards, so you got Jeter collectors buying those up for sure. In a rare instance where a Greene collector (do they exist?) has one, congrats to ya!
