How about one of Zeke Bonura's White Sox cards?
1936: .330 12 138 .426 .482 .908 39 doubles, bulletproof. His 138 RBI was a White Sox team record for an astounding 62 years until broken by Albert Belle in 1998 with 152 RBI.
1937: .345 19 100 .412 .573 .984 with 41 doubles in just 502 AB
(BTW, Albert Belle should have a 1998 White Sox card, as it was arguably the best single season offensive performance in White Sox history: .328 49 152 .399 .655 1.055. In addition to his 49 HRs, he had 48 doubles and 2 triples, giving him 99 extra base hits, for a league leading 399 total bases. He led the league in SLG and OPS and had a a league leading OPS+ of 172 and a WAR of 7.1, tops among A.L. OFers.)
Also, how about Johnny Mostil from the 1926 White Sox?
1926: .328 4 41 .415 .467 .882 with 41 doubles. Led A.L. with 35 stolen bases and was 2nd in MVP voting. He's the only CFer in baseball history to record a putout on a foul ball. A sure "1" in CF and a good leadoff man, likely to carry a reasonable price tag.
