Ted, I've always thought the alternating Musial / Williams thing was interesting too, with no real explanation for it.

I still don't understand why there is no regular 58 Topps Musial. If Topps had enough time to prepare an All Star card, they had enough time to prepare a regular card. My theory has always been that Sport Magazine (which sponsored the Topps all star cards in 1958) had Musial's permission to use his picture in any way they wanted, so they allowed Topps to include him in their All Star subset.
