👑 CLUBHOUSE COLLECTIVE: TOP 25 ROYALS OF ALL TIME 👑

The countdown continues.

Yesterday we revealed #25 through #21. Today we move into the next five — players who helped shape different eras of Kansas City Royals baseball.

As a reminder, our ranking puts longevity in Kansas City first, followed by production as a Royal, franchise impact, awards, postseason success and overall place in team history.

DAY 2 — #20 THROUGH #16

#20 BO JACKSON

Bo’s Royals career was short, but few players have ever made a bigger impression in less time. His 1989 season included 32 home runs, 105 RBI and an unforgettable All-Star Game MVP performance. One of the most electrifying athletes baseball has ever seen, Bo remains a Royals Hall of Famer and a permanent part of franchise lore.

#19 DARRELL PORTER

Porter spent four seasons in Kansas City and made the All-Star team three times as a Royal. His monster 1979 season included 20 home runs, 112 RBI, 121 walks and a .421 OBP. He also helped the Royals reach the 1980 World Series.

#18 JOHN MAYBERRY

One of the first true power hitters in Royals history. In six Kansas City seasons, Mayberry hit 143 home runs and drove in 552 runs. He made two All-Star teams and became the first Royal to hit 30+ homers in a season when he launched 34 in 1975.

#17 DENNIS LEONARD

A true workhorse and one of the greatest starters in franchise history. Leonard won 144 games, posted three 20-win seasons and finished his Royals career with 103 complete games and 23 shutouts. He spent his entire Major League career in Kansas City.

#16 PAUL SPLITTORFF

No pitcher has won more games in a Royals uniform.

Splittorff finished with a franchise-record 166 victories, 392 starts and more than 2,500 innings. He became the first 20-game winner in team history and helped lead Kansas City to four postseason appearances.

That’s #20 through #16.

Tomorrow we break into the TOP 15.

Who’s too high? Who’s too low? And who are you expecting to see next?

👑 CLUBHOUSE COLLECTIVE: TOP 25 ROYALS OF ALL TIME 👑

We’re counting down our Top 25 Kansas City Royals of all time — five players a day for the next five days, starting at #25 and working all the way to #1.

This isn’t a “best single season” list.

Longevity in Kansas City comes first, followed by production as a Royal, franchise impact, awards, postseason success and overall place in Royals history.

DAY 1 — #25 THROUGH #21

#25 FREDDIE PATEK

The sparkplug of the early Royals. Patek spent nine seasons in Kansas City, made three All-Star teams, stole 336 bases as a Royal and led the American League with 53 steals in 1977.

Small in stature. Huge part of the franchise’s early identity.

#24 LARRY GURA

One of the most dependable pitchers of Kansas City’s first great era.

Gura spent 10 seasons with the Royals, won 111 games in Kansas City, made an All-Star team and became a major part of the rotations that helped turn the Royals into perennial contenders.

#23 BILLY BUTLER

“Country Breakfast” was one of the most consistent hitters Kansas City had during the rebuilding years.

Butler hit .295 across eight Royals seasons, made the 2012 All-Star team, won a Silver Slugger and the Edgar Martínez Award, and helped Kansas City reach the 2014 World Series.

#22 KEVIN SEITZER

Seitzer exploded onto the scene in 1987.

He hit .323 with 207 hits, made the All-Star team and finished second in AL Rookie of the Year voting.

His offensive peak made him one of the most productive Royals hitters of his era.

#21 STEVE BUSBY

Before the Royals became perennial contenders, Busby gave Kansas City its first true ace.

He was a two-time All-Star, won 22 games in 1974 and threw the first two no-hitters in Royals history.

Injuries shortened his career, but his peak and place in franchise history are impossible to ignore.

That’s #25 through #21.

Tomorrow we reveal #20 through #16.

I think this is mostly fair if we’re talking strictly about resale value. But that’s where I think the conversation needs some pushback.

PSA is the king of resale right now. No argument. Biggest buyer pool, easiest to move, and people routinely pay more for the same card in a PSA slab.

But that doesn’t automatically make PSA the best grading company. It means PSA has the strongest brand and market. Those are two different things.

If the exact same card gets a 10 from two reputable companies and somebody pays $400 for the PSA while the other sells for $200, that doesn’t mean PSA graded the card twice as well. It means buyers value those three letters on the slab.

There are several different conversations here: grading accuracy, consistency, transparency, slab quality, eye appeal, cost and resale value. PSA can win resale without winning everything else.

TAG is a good example. I’m personally not crazy about their slab design, but what they’re doing with grading transparency and showing collectors WHY a card received its grade is impressive. Their lower resale value says more about market adoption than their ability to grade a card.

SGC has earned its reputation with vintage collectors. Beckett is its own animal a regular BGS grade may trail PSA, while a Pristine 10 or Black Label can command a monster premium.

And something else gets overlooked:

Not every card you send in is coming back a 10.

Those huge PSA premiums everyone talks about are usually most noticeable with Gem Mint 10s. Start talking 9s, lower-value cards, grading fees and shipping, and the math can change quickly.

So my question isn’t just, “Who has the most valuable slab?”

It’s WHY am I grading this card?

If I’m selling and maximizing return, PSA is probably the obvious choice much of the time.

For my personal collection? Different story. I care how the slab looks, how the grading was done, transparency, and whether I actually enjoy looking at the darn thing.

Personally, I’ve never thought PSA made an attractive slab. That little red-and-white label doesn’t suddenly become beautiful because somebody will pay me another $100 for it. 😂

That’s why I appreciate companies trying something different, including Arena Club.

PSA is the current resale standard. Absolutely.

But “highest resale value” and “best grading company” are NOT interchangeable.

The market decides what the slab is worth.

The grading process determines the quality of the grade.

And the collector decides what belongs in their collection.

Those can be three completely different answers.

One of the coolest parts about sharing these custom cards has been hearing from fellow Royals fans.

After I posted my first batch of CROWN VISION cards, someone reached out and said:

“You have to finish the rest of the 2015 World Series team.”

Challenge accepted. 👑⚾

So here’s the next wave.

From Hosmer’s intensity…
To Moose’s swagger…
To Ventura’s fire…
To Wade locking games down…
To Zobrist, Cain, Dyson, Duffy, Escobar, and Volquez…

This team gave Kansas City memories that will last a lifetime.

I wanted these to feel like they belonged on the CrownVision scoreboard at The K—glowing under the lights on a cool October night.

Which player should I make next?
