Johnny Wockenfuss. Probably still have about a thousand of that guy from 1979 and 1980.

A couple claims to fame there.
Danny Heep was Nolan Ryan's 4,000th strikeout victim.
And if you meant Don Robinson, he was a stud as a hitter back in the 1980s. Won three or four Silver Slugger awards. If you really meant Ron Robinson, I have no idea who that is. He has no claim to fame.

 

I think I have boxes full of Junior Noboa and Bombo Rivera baseball cards.

 

Oddibe McDowell.

 

I would get Roger Erickson in seemingly every other pack I bought in the '80s. Rather than give in to Commons anger, I made it my life's goal to collect every Roger Erickson card ever printed. Goal still not achieved.

 

I have roughly 18,000 Todd Van Poppel cards somewhere.

And Carlton is dead to me for the Beau Allred dig.

 

Jerry Dybzinski belongs on this list. As do Al Pedrique and Fred Manrique, two schleps I used to get mixed up.

 

When I think of a "common," I think of a back-up catcher or infielder for the Twins, Padres or Cardinals, maybe someone who bounced around the Midwest for most of his career, who wears glasses and is crouching down with his mitt extended. Of course they never shoot these guys in game action.

Pretty much any Dave Roberts who ever played.

 

I've got a big box of cards from the late 80s/early 90s, my prime collection days. My mom made me take them or she was going to throw them out. I might go through them sometime. Got a bunch of random hockey cards in there too.

 

From the 1970s — Lee Lacy (the only card I needed to complete my Dodgers team set in 1977).

From the 1980s — Chris Welsh.
