Musial doesn't get onto a Topps card until 1958, so I highly doubt he would be a serious contender for the 52 Set.
Same for Ted Williams. He doesn't appear on a Topps card until 1954.
I still think Joe D is a likely candidate. Yes, his career was over after the 1951 season but he also gave plenty of hints of his impending retirement and this would have been the only opportunity to feature him on a card.
