Well, in a way the '54 Topps Mantle was made. At least as part of the 2nd issue of Sports Illustrated. I would personally like to pick up both the full issue with the sheet, but also wouldn't mind a cut-out single of the Mantle too, if I can find a legit one...
As far as cards that were never made, I would've loved to have seen a Musial in just about any Topps set. A '52 Topps Joe Dimaggio would've been awesome. And of course I'm gonna go the rookie card route too. A '51 Red or Blue back of Mantle and Mays would've been nice to see as well. Possibly even a '48 Bowman of Jackie Robinson or Larry Doby. I'm honestly surprised that Jackie wasn't in the '48 Bowman.
