1967: Mets
1968: White Sox
1969: Pilots
1970: Astros
1971: Cubs
1972: A's
1973: None
1974-6:Orioles
1977: Royals
And this before the advent of extensive free-agency movement. Has there been a player appearing on cards for more different teams than Tommy?

Bobby Bonds comes close:
74 Giants
75-76 Yankees
77-78 Angels
79 Rangers
80 Indians
81 Cardinals
82 Cubs
Bonds played for the White Sox briefly in 78 and was a Yankee in 83 without playing (no cards).
Teams kept trading or releasing him after starring in the outfield for the Giants for 7 years. His player moves were not due to free agent re-entry draft.
