Responding to these two comments of yours......

"Ted of course was in Korea in 1952 and 1953. If not, I believe he would have been in the two Bowman sets with Musial,
barring an exclusive contract with Topps."

I'm not sure about that......why wasn't Ted in the 1948 & 1949 BOWMAN sets; and, why wasn't Stan in the 1950 & 1951
BOWMAN sets ?

Both Musial and Williams were not only in the 1949 LEAF set, but prior to it, they were both in the 1947 BOND BREAD set.
Also, in the 1952 BERK-ROSS set. It's quite a mystery why they appear to be mutually exclusive in the BOWMAN sets ? ?

"Ted then jumped to Fleer in 1959 when Musial finally got a regular card in Topps, so we never really get them both in a
Topps set as regular cards."

Ted W. just didn't "jump" to FLEER in 1959. Have you read of my personal conversation with Ted (in 1984) regarding why
and how FLEER produced their 80-card set of Ted ?
