Maybe this has been covered before.

There are a whole bunch of people who have their RC in 1967 that you would never suspect never had Topps cards before
The most famous was Maury Wills
Then Chris Short
Then people such as Doug Clemens and Arnold Earley. Trust me, there were some funky things in 1967. I think, and if Mark Armour reads this he probably can chime in better than I do but that was when Marvin Miller 1st got the players reasonable money to be on Topps cards.
