Unexpected Cards
Since it seems that Topps goal each issue (year) was to include and preview players on each team for the upcoming season (whenever possible), it is interesting that some years players were posthumously included in a new set. Some that come to mind are:
1964-Ken Hubbs 1964-Jim Umbricht 1973-Roberto Clemente 1975-Don Wilson 1977-Mike Miley 1977-Danny Frisella 1980-Thurman Munson (Yankee team card) Several of these players passed away either in Dec or Jan (the year of their last card), so it was likely too late to pull the card as the issue was well into the production stages
