Speier
Hello, Jim Rice. Was on the '75 All-Rookie team, this is his '76 card though.
Wow, you guys are petty good with the old Topps rookies. Good work...
Benito Santiago
As a matter of fact, Gantry, the two oldest All-Star Rookies that appeared in NES RBI are Speier seen above and this guy seen below. Incidentally, I didn't know he played with the Dodgers before!
So weird to see Buckner without a stache, great find. But I have to say that if you are using a list of all the Topps rookies it's kind of "cheating" -- not that it really matters of course, but don't start posting them all if you have a list - let the other folks try to figure out some then add when things stagnate...
I didn't plan on hanging around this thread too long, so I decided to pick two good ones from a list and be done with it X^D I do have a really big baseball card collection but I didn't want to sift through it, a ton of my cards are in the closet somewhere.
I don't have many cards old enough to make this list... most of my cards are '88 or newer, and I don't know of many Rated Rookie/Topps All Star that would be in the '88 set besides Pedrique.

No problemo, and now that I think about it I doubt we'll get many more additions after tomorrow. So post away if you have them people!
Buckner's moustache appears to be above his eyes. Yowza!
Yeah he didn't look really attractive with those bushy eyebrows X^D

that was the point, reagan
Sometimes I wonder who Topps and Donruss had in their talent research department. They rarely got one right.
they always got the diamond kings right
The Hawk
Ah heck, I'll do one more. Chili Davis. One of Potsie's favorites I gather :^D
i love chili davis as much as the next man, but it appears he was not a topps rookie all star
He was too. For a peroid of time ('79-'86), Topps did not display the 'All Star Rookies' trophy on the card, but they still fielded All Star Rookie teams during this time.
topps "got" a lot more right because the rookie all stars were based on that season's stats. i remember that damon berryhill and mark grace were rookie all stars in the 1989 set because they had the best seasons amongst rookies at catcher and first base. their "future stars" were off base quite frequently though...i remember my brother and i crumpling up all the Steve Searcy future star cards we had.
the donruss rated rookies were always crapshoots, because it was all speculative. at least with the rookie all stars, topps had some stats that they could fall back on.
What year is that DeJesus card from? If it was from the year he got traded for Ryno, it's especially accurate.
