That doesn't make sense. Why would Harris have an "exclusive" contract with Topps? Harris was never on a Topps card and in fact the last card he appeared on was the '53 Bowman B/W issue, six years prior. I think it's more likely Teddy was still under contract to Topps, since he appeared on two cards in the prior year '58T set and was still an active player.
