I'll offer up Ernie Cox. Only pitched 1 inning in one game in 1922, and still was pictured on a card 5 years later:

What about Lou Lowdermilk? Not only did he have a card, but it is an iconic one in an important tobacco set.

I'm not sure if this fits your definition, but I just read this recently:
Hall of Fame manager Walter Alston played in only one game, September 27, 1936 as a substitute for future Hall of Famer Johnny Mize. In his one plate appearance Alston struck out. No card was ever produced for Alston as a player, but approx 40 cards were issued of him as a manager. ErikV |

Are there any cards out there for the most famous 1 day player, Billy Crystal? He signed a 1 day contract with the Yankees and led off a spring training game as the designated hitter and struck out on 6 pitches.

Although he struck out, Paul Maholm nearly walked him and Crystal did foul off a pitch.

Tom Selleck had a card in an Upper Deck set but I don't think he ever played; he did so much batting practice with the Tigers that the players called him "Magnum BP".

2 guys I saw play in the old PONY Lg (1951) & then the NY-Penn Lg (around 1966) back in my hometown of Wellsville, NY both had Topps cards but never played a day in the bigs. Angel Scull & John Thibdeau

Bob was a pinch runner in 1 game during the 1955 season. In 1956 Topps erroneously showed # 17 (Chico Carresquel) in the action portion not # 21, which was Powells # that year. Bob returned in 1957 for 1 game and scored a run as a pinch runner...This time he did have uniform # 17 but no card and never an AB.

One of the iconic cards in this hobby pictures a man who never played an inning in the major leagues. Irving Lewis, one of the toughest crds in the T207 set, was a member of the Boston National League team for some time after the season started, playing in exhibition games but never getting into a regular-season game.
