So I just reconfirmed that the only Maury Wills cards I have in my Baseball card collection from the 1954-65 period are the 1962 Post Cereal and 1962 Shirriff Coins ones. Looking through my 1951-1990 Topps Baseball Cards book, I was then shocked to learn that Maury Wills' first Topps card wasn't until 1967! Can anyone explain why no Maury Wills' cards were included in the 1959-66 Topps sets?
