The story on this card
Elia's 1966 Topps card is a high number, sharing its multi-player Rookie Stars slot with fellow White Sox prospect Bill Voss and pitcher Dennis Higgins - his first appearance on a Topps card and his rookie card, issued after Chicago called him up that April. He split time at shortstop with Jerry Adair, appearing in 80 games and batting .205 with three home runs and 22 RBIs in his rookie season, after years working through the Phillies and White Sox farm systems. A Philadelphia-born shortstop who reached the majors with the White Sox in 1966 and later the Cubs, before a long second career as a big-league coach and manager.
Higgins made the White Sox roster in 1966 after eight seasons in their farm system, working exclusively in relief for most of the year and posting a 2.52 ERA with five saves in 42 games. His card is #529, a high number in the seventh and final print series, shared as a multi-player Rookie Stars subset with Lee Elia and Bill Voss, all three shown representing the White Sox. A right-handed reliever from Jefferson City, Missouri, who spent eight minor-league seasons before reaching the majors at 26 and went on to lead two different clubs in saves.
Voss spent most of 1966 with Indianapolis of the Pacific Coast League after a brief look with the White Sox in spring training, playing in just two games for Chicago that year. This 1966 Topps #529 Rookie Stars card, a high number from the seventh print series, is his rookie card and introduces him to collectors alongside fellow White Sox prospects Lee Elia and Dennis Higgins. A speedy, left-handed-hitting outfielder who broke in with the White Sox in 1965 and turned in his best season with the Angels in 1969, batting .261.
