Presumably Topps was unable to get sufficient approval from the player or his family, or from it’s original contract to reuse the player’s likeness

Hi Al! When I met Ralph Branca, we spoke about this. Apparently Branca was asked to talk to Loes about signing off. Loes was not in as good of a financial position as branca and was holding out for more money. Branca said " billy, they are paying just as much as they did the first time around, for the same thing". Loes never signed.
