Players who didn't appear in Topps sets
Posted By: Chris Counts
Maury Wills is the best known example of player who was not issued cards in Topps sets (from '60 to '66) ... does anybody have a complete list of the players and why their cards weren't issued? The reason I am asking is that I came across Dick Hall's stats from the mid-60s and I was surprised to discover he was one of the best relievers in baseball. And yet I don't recall cards of him in any of the sets from '64 to '66. I realized how much I depend on Topps cards for my baseball knowledge of the 50s and 60s ... |

I don't have a list, but there are quite a few other cards that "should have been", even after Topps got its monopoly in 1956. The most famous are Stan Musial (no 1956-57 or regular 1958) and Ted Williams (1959-60). One that you never hear mentioned is Frank Robinson in 1976 - still an active player, but no card. It also would have been nice to see Dick Allen on a 1977 Topps card as a member of the A's. |

Doug Clemens played every year from 1960-1968 for the Cardinals, Cubs, and Phillies and only has a 1967 Topps to show for it. His entire career was 263 games. |

I remember him being announced at a Yankee Old Timers Day years ago before he passed away and saying "Who's He?" as I had never seen a card of him. I found out later that he played from 1959 to 1965 with several teams averaging about 25 appearances a year. He also had 18 saves with the 1962 Yankees in his best season. I always thought that Al Downing was the only African American pitcher on the Yankees. |

Wow! I hadn't heard the name Marshall Bridges in a long time. As a long time Yankee fan, I do remember him, but didn't even realize he didn't have a Topps card. Here he is on a Challenge the Yankees game card. |

As a Mets fan I seem to recall Rusty Staub not being in sets around 1972-73. I never knew why.CN |

Jason, here's one of my Photoshop jobs. I'd offer it to you, but I know you don't like the shiny stuff. |
