It really sad, but Wagner didn't actually have a card of his own as an active player. According to TCDB, his first issued card as a current/active partcipant in baseball pathetically didn't arrive until 1980 when TCMA depicted him as a coach for the Elmira Pioneer/Red Sox. That's a grave injustice for a wonderful human being and incredible baseball lifer.

As to your other question, Connie Mack has to hold the record for longest span, doesn't he? OJ to the 1950 Callahan. I am not sure what exact year his OJs were actually released, but this could be up to a 63 year span between issues. Was his Callahan a 1950 release? If they released them in the order of when the HOFers were inducted, I would have to think so, but others will know better. Unfortunately, his 1951 Topps Connie Mack All Star was released the year after the last game he managed.
