How long is "long time?"
I am wondering more about how long the JDM postcards would have been made for a particular player with a particular team. If JD McCarthy was making these to sell to fans, then he would probably have had an easier time with current player / current team PCs then reproducing players from years earlier. Same thing if he were making these to provide to the players directly so they could answer fan mail. While its possible, I can't help but think players wouldn't be ordering PCs from him in the 70s depicting them with their teams from the 50s-60s. And, even if they did, it seems likely to me that JDM wouldn't print them in the same way as before, especially without zip codes, etc. I suspect that if certain players cards were available well into the 70s with original production in the 50s-60s, then it was old inventory that never moved - similar to baseball magazine player posters.
