Bucky
Paul-- your guess is as good as mine. In the early years Topps signed numerous managers and even coaches to card contracts. There are 25 of them in the 54 set. Someone pointed out Bucky appeared on a Bowman card in the early 50s and so he must have been under contract with them. When Topps bought out Bowman pre 1959, they acquired all of Bowman's assets, including the player contracts. But, I am just speculating. No first hand knowledge
