There IS a 1973 Topps Staub
Look at card #420 of Agee. Photo was taken at Shea when he was a Met. All the fielders are Mets. But the uniforms are airbrushed. See the Right fielder backing up the pop-up? That's Rusty Staub. (BTW-who is sliding into home on the 1956 Aaron card? Willie Mays.). I remember reading in 1973 about the 1973 set that Staub "had a dispute with Topps-so no card of him" was the exact quote from a dealer at the time selling sets. I couldn't afford it at $2.95 per series. So even though Staub had a dispute with Topps, they still have his "likeness" or "image" on a 1973 card.
