Topps Trivia Question
 
What pitcher played in over 200 MLB games in 7 years, mostly in the 1960s, had 345 IP, and never had a Topps card? No internet searching.

Tony Horton?

I should have stated this guy is a pitcher, sorry Cliff.

Tony Horton does hold the record for most games played without being on a Topps card though.

Marshall Bridges.
Decent relief pitcher who appeared in the '62 series with the Yankees

Marshall Bridges is correct.

Never heard why he didn't have any Topps cards. Played from 1959-1965 every year.

Maury Wills
 
That was a great question, Randy.

What about Maury Wills? Finally made the Dodgers roster in 1959 and beginning 1960 busted the league in stolen bases for the next six years. Didn't get a nationally distributed card until 1963 Fleer (I know not about the regionals) And not a Topps card until 1967!

I think all three of those guys were known for their, let us say - prickly personalities. Probably got annoyed at Topps for some reason and never let go of it.
