All the big stars who spanned the late 50's and into the early to mid 70's have lots of cards.
If you count all the Topps peripheral stuff, plus all the food and ad pieces from the mid 60's into the late 70's, some players could be on 10 or more different cards in the same year.
Lou Brock alone is on at least 7 different readily available "cards" from 1970 alone, Nabisco, Globe, Dayton daily news, Kelloggs, Chemtoy super ball, Transogram, plus Topps and OPC issues.
In the mid 70's the MSA discs just explode the equation, with those stars perhaps being on 12 or more different issues counting MSA in a given year. You've got Kelloggs, Hostess, Topps/OPC, and on and on.
If I were to guess, I would say Hank Aaron is on the most issues, as he makes it into the first round of the MSA discs, plus is in Hostess.
After thinking a bit more about this, Yaz may be on the most, he makes it into the early 80's so gets Topps, Fleer, and Donruss issues as well.
