Thanks to Roy Carlson's recent Topps team card work for Sports Collectors Daily, some "new" interesting cards surfaced.
* Pre-RC Tim Raines appears on the 1980 Topps Expos team card
* Thurman Munson appears on the 1980 Topps Yankees team card; he lacks a personal card following his death in a 1979 plane crash
* 1967 Topps White Sox team card shows equipment manager Ephraim Colledge for the final time, that franchise's last link to their Black Sox team
* Stan Musial continued to appear on Cardinals team cards until 1965 due to Topps photo reuse
