Paging Dave Hornish who can probably provide the data much better than I can since I'm going from memory of reading things Topps talked about.

But I suspect the reason there were no In Memoriam cards for some of those people mentioned was because Topps always believed their audience was kids and as such were interested in the now instead of the "then"

I can even say not just In Memoriam but retirement cards of our better known players would have been a great idea looking back over the years

A quick and far from comprehensive list of players I would have liked to see "retirement cards" for include

Willie Mays
Roger Maris
Eddie Mathews
Hank Aaron
Stan Musial
Jackie Robinson

etc etc etc

Regards
Rich
