If minor league cards are to be taken into consideration, Reese should definitely be our winner! Talk about a long career, and just like Charlie Wagner, another great person.
On a related note, has it ever dawned on anyone else that these baseball lifers with ridiculously long careers seemed to be unusually nice people and beloved by so many? I was friends with a few men who fit the bill, and that could unfailingly be said about all of them, too.

Not from a “major” set, but Reese has a 1931 Exhibit from his MLB career—so a 62-year span for his MLB issues.
