Maury Wills has a similar gap where he doesn’t appear in cards but he’s only a former MVP, not a HOFer.
There have been some fun threads on here where the Photoshop Aces are able to design the missing years. Musial would have been an amazing addition to the missing high numbers in 1955.

Hal Newhouser, as recently discussed -- 1948(9) Leaf, then 1953 Topps, may be the closest for a HOFer.
Mike Cuellar is interesting. He appeared in 59 and 60 Topps, then not again until 65. In FB, Gino Marchetti is in 52 Bowman, then nothing until 57 Topps.

In a 2001 interview with USA Today on the 50th anniversary of Topps baseball cards, Topps executive Sy Berger said Musial “just didn’t want to sign (a contract) for cards.”

Musial does of course appear in Red Man and Red Heart and other less common regionals, such as this one.

In a 2001 interview with USA Today on the 50th anniversary of Topps baseball cards, Topps executive Sy Berger said Musial “just didn’t want to sign (a contract) for cards.”
The breakthrough came in time for Topps’ 1958 set. Berger said Cardinals owner Gussie Busch was raising money for charity and asked Topps for a donation. Berger said Topps offered to donate $1,500 to the non-profit of Busch’s choice if Musial would agree to sign a Topps contract to appear on a 1958 baseball card. Musial did. The retired Cardinals star continues to be featured on Topps baseball cards today. (In the book “Musial: From Stash to Stan the Man” (2001, Missouri), author James N. Giglio claims “insufficient compensation” was the reason Musial didn’t sign with Topps until 1958.) |
