Al,
The article you posted indicated that Topps got the wrong Miller on the front. In theory, the card COULD HAVE been intended for the Miller born in 1939, because he pitched for the Cardinals in 1957 and in 1959. And he probably would have been the better choice because the Miller born in 1926 never pitched for the Cardinals. However, Topps anticipated him pitching for the Cardinals in 1959. He did not because he got let go and never pitched in MLB again.
To add to the confusion, the 1959 Topps card has the wrong birth year. He was born June 16, 1926, but the card says June 16, 1927.
