Default “Official“ cards that never were

Was going through some cards and I’m not sure why I never noticed this before, but the 1975 card that shows the 1955 MVPs has ‘55 Topps cards of Yogi Berra and Roy Campanella. Of course, Campanella never had a 1955 card with them as he was exclusive to Bowman at the time. I thought it was really interesting to see the card presented very matter-of-factly with no mention of the fact that it didn’t exist.

Does anyone know of any other similar cases? I know that there have been sets that were specifically designed to include cards that never were and these cards were specifically presented as cards that never were (probably starting with the 1994 archives set featuring the 1953 series), but that’s not really what I’m interested in. I’m interested in cards that were presented as if they were real cards even though they weren’t, with no mention of the card being a recent invention. Not sure if I’m making sense with the differentiation but I hope I am.
