How about a technicality?
The formerly long-retired Minnie Minoso was featured on that 1977 Topps Record Breaker card, because he played in a game the previous year, so it's a semi-official(?) player card.

Stretching the " card " thingy again :

 .. What I often ponder about these things is that in late fall of 1952 , that "15 Cents " cost of a single Star Cal Decal would have bought you THREE UNOPENED PACKS OF HIGH NUMBERS TOPPS ! ponder that , why dontcha .

1954 Topps Tom Lasorda rookie skips all the way to 1973 Topps and OPC as coach on someone's manager card, or 1978 for his own manager card. (there is a 1955 Golden Stamp and a couple of postcards)

If we add managers clearly there would be many examples of players who became managers/had manager cards many years after their last player card. That might be the longest gap though?

Frisch, some lesser known 1936 cards, then 51 Bowman. Did Wagner have any cards between his last card as a player in the teens and 48 Leaf? Oh, yeah, 1936 R312.

By far the most frustrating gap for me is Harmon Killebrew...1956 to 1958, no 1957 Topps card. 1957 is one of my favorite years and designs, skipping 1957 leaves a huge hole in my Killebrew collection (favorite player).
