Postwar Topps Trivia Question
Willie Mays and Hoyt Wilhelm appear in both the 1952 and the 1972 Topps sets. 1953/1973, just Willie Mays. In the Postwar Topps sets (1952-1980) just about every year there have been sets that include at least one guy who appeared on a regular issue Topps card 20 years later. The questions:

If we're limiting it to cards from 1952-1980, I would guess 1958 is the only set with no player appearing 20 years later, as I can think of players that would disqualify the other sets (except 1979, for now, which you stated has one player from twenty years prior)

Ron Fairly is correct in regards to 1959/1979. I thought that would be the tough question.
1958 is correct as the only set without a player on a card 20 years later. |

My first guess was going to be Jim Katt but his rookie card came a year later. When I looked over the rookie cards from the '59 set and saw Fairly, I knew it had to be him.

Yes, true he did. But, it was for player cards only.

The set with 8 guys that have cards 20 years later is 1965. Name 8 the guys from that set that have regular issue cards in the 1985 Topps set.

Those 6 plus Staub from the previous post are all correct. That's 7 out of 8. The last guy was tough; surprised that he was in the '85 set. Anyone?
