Default Players who didn't appear in Topps sets

Posted By: Chris Counts

Alan,

Thanks for providing the link. I actually created a couple of those "fantasy" cards ...

While there were many big name players who didn't appear on Topps cards from 1951 to 1955, there are relatively few after that. I seem to recall that Jerry Kindall was another guy who had a falling-out with Topps. His last card is a 1963 Topps. He should have been included in the '64 and '65 sets. I heard his inclusion in the '63 Fleer set had something to do with his omission. The same circumstances seem to be the case for Joe Adcock, the rarest card in the '63 Fleer set. He, like Hall, is omitted from the '64 to '66 sets ...

Curiously, somebody even went so far as to make a '64 card of Kindall ...
