The only man to win MVP in both leagues, the great Frank Robinson is today's Jukebox hit....Earned N.L.

1992 Topps, Frank Thomas

Card No. 555

A case can be made quite easily that this is Frank Thomas' best Topps card in terms of artistic presentation....As you can see, some of the photo choices in the 1992 Topps set are every bit as good as those used in that year's super-premium Stadium Club product....This is one of two horizontally-oriented cards of Frank in the Topps catalog (1997 being the other)....Thomas' iconic "#1 Draft Pick" rookie card can be found in the 1990 set....The Big Hurt established a career high and led the A.L. with 46 doubles during the '92 season.

2015 Topps, Derek Jeter

Card No. 1

The 23rd and final Topps card of Yankees captain Derek Jeter....The great photo choice plus the attractive design of 2015 Topps places this one firmly in my top-three favorite Jeter cards....Derek first appeared in a Topps set in 1993 when he was featured in the "1992 Draft Pick" subset....Jeter boasts a rare trifecta, earning Rookie of the Year (1996), All-Star Game MVP ('00) and World Series MVP ('00) accolades during his storied career....Retired after the 2014 season with 3,465 hits, which is 6th-most in MLB history.

Card No. 436

Charlie Neal is front and center on this confluence of greatness: the classic Reds uniform and the clean, colorful 1964 Topps design....Charlie played for the Dodgers in their final season in Brooklyn (1957) and was also a member of the expansion Mets in '62....Listed as "Charley" on four of his nine career Topps cards, including his '56 rookie card....This is Neal's final Topps card and his only one as a Red....Batted just .156 (10-64) in 34 games for Cincinnati following trade from Mets, July 1, 1963.

1986 Topps, Dave Kingman

Card No. 410

The 1986 set brought us the penultimate Topps card of strikeout-prone slugger Dave Kingman....Behind only the 1987 and '89 sets, '86 Topps is my favorite Topps design of the decade....Kingman first appeared on a Topps card wearing Oakland duds in the 1984 Traded set.... Kong's rookie card is part of the 1972 Topps checklist....Dave led the A's with 35 home runs during in '86 season--his final as a big leaguer.
