Right, 1960 Topps #389 shows an unnamed Wills fielding a throw on the "Luis Swipes Base" World Series card and then doesn't appear on a Topps card until 1967 as a Pirate. Brock Davis is the first I've heard of having a longer gap. (Maury did appear in the 1960s Post Cereal sets and 1963 Fleer in-between, but no Topps.)

As a player, Minnie Minoso. He finished up with a 1964 card and was next on a record breaker card in 1977 for being the oldest player due to an appearance in 1976.

I don't count the Minoso, as his 1977 was a "special" not a regular card. Going crazy to top Brock Davis (I need to get a life). Can't do it yet. Came close with Wally Wolf and Paul Ratliff 1963/1970. Wally Wolf being interesting because it was the same (crude) photo both years. Makes me wonder if 7 years is the Topps record for gap using the same picture.

Someone did a great story for Baseball Hobby News about all the recycled 1969 Topps photos. Be nice to see that story again

I think in mid 1969 Topps reached a new agreement with the Players Association and it's new head Marvin Miller. An agreement much more favorable to the players. The result was new pictures started to show up in the latter series of cards, but at least the first 4 or 5 series had many recycled pictures. Expansion teams also had an impact that year. I think Olberman may have also done an article on 69 photos

Jack Quinn comes in mind who has a T card and a 33 Goudy but there are probably other cards in between.

Bob Keegan is even more out there then Minnie Minoso in the 1977 set with the highlight of his no-hitter of 1957/ Still based on playing career.

The Keegan is a card in a set describing a past deed.
The Minoso is a card describing a current deed, and the player in question, played in all of the intervening years. |
