It wasn't a licensing issue with Wills
Wills attended a Detroit Tigers camp. He was the only prospect Topps did not sign in the Camp. Their scout thought he was not Major League material. He was returned to the Dodgers. Wills resented he was not originally signed and held out from Topps his first few years after he made the Majors. Players received a nominal fee from Topps along with some crap from a catalog.
