I've dove into the Orioles pool and found these treasures. At the rate we add cards, this will take us many decades into the future, when our children will be adding these names.
Brian Roberts 2005 314/387/515 NO CARD
Heinie Manush 1928 378/414/575 ONE CARD, not his best year (2nd in MVP)
Harry Rice 1925 359/450/568 NO CARD (5th in MVP)
Melvin Mora 2004 340/419/562 NO CARD very good 3b metrics
George Sisler 1922 420/467/594 TWO CARDS, missing this MVP year
Bob Nieman 1956 322/442/497 (Bal only) TWO CARDS, missing his best year (7th in MVP – traded mid year to BAL)
Al Bumbry 1980 318/392/433 TWO CARDS, missing (by far) his best year (13th in MVP)
Ken Singleton 1977 328/438/507 THREE CARDS, (3rd in MVP) none of his 4 top ten MVP years represented.
Harold Baines 1999 322/395/583 THREE CARDS, this is his best hitting year in a 22 year career
Ken Williams 1923 357/439/623 THREE CARDS, missing his best year
John Lowenstein 1982 platoon king 320/415/602 (98% of his 384 plate appearances were against righties) ONE CARD, this is a huge upgrade
Chris Davis 2013 286/370/634 NO CARD (3rd in MVP)
Manny Machado 2015 286/359/502 NO CARD
Nick Markakis 2008 306/406/491 NO CARD
Paul Blair 1967 293/353/446 THREE CARDS, missing arguably his best year
Doug DeCinces 1978 286/346/526 TWO CARDS, none from Baltimore where he played 858 games
Mark Belanger 1976 270/336/326 TWO CARDS, but in 1976 was his only OPS+ of 100, superb RF/9
Roberto Alomar 1996 328/411/527 THREE CARDS, this gives him a Baltimore card
Larry Sheets 1987 316/358/563 NO CARD
