Which do you prefer? Multiple players or solo card?
Rusty Staub, one of my favorite players. I was lucky enough to win a 1964 Topps Rusty Staub on ebay. 1964 is not his rookie card but I prefer a player's first solo card; wholly his own. I really have no interest in his 1963 Topps "floating heads" card.
Even though I want Nolan Ryan's 1968 Topps rookie card. I'm am working harder to obtain his 1969 Topps card.

Single player cards deffo over multi-player cards. The floating head cards give me the creeps.

As far as preference, just a tad for the solo card. I like the '63 format more than the dual cards. What I don't like are similar to the multiple player cards shown are the checklist cards with but a small pic of the player.

I thought I was the only who thought they're creepy.

First solo card is the one I prefer, especially if it's got that Topps Rookie Cup on there. The 64T Rose and 69T Bench look so much better than their RCs.

I like single player cards. Everyone loves the Nolan Ryan rookie cards. Yes, the floating head cards are creepy.

I prefer solo cards, but since my primary PC involves any card of former Buckeyes, I don't mind having other players on the card. The annoying ones for me are the ones that have two Buckeyes on the card; initially I wanted two copies, one for each player, and now I've decided to just get one copy and put it in the first player listed on the card.

Solo cards for me too. Though I like the the league leader multi player cards better than the rookie multi player cards. At least with the league leader cards you get a look at who the top players were in a given category.
Also Rusty Staub has one of my favorite nicknames in sports. Le Grande Orange
