Dimaggio is another one, although he announced his retirement before the start of the 52 Topps production.

Beat ya to it, Rats.

There are more listed here but I guess they have to draw the line somewhere.

~3 minutes. You posted while I was typing my list. At least great minds think alike. How great would the 400+ card 1952 Topps set be if it actually included all the best players of that time? Especially the 2 best players in the game at the time.

1968 topps 3d mickey mantle
1955 armour coins of jackie and campy

For me it would be

T210 & T209-2 Jim Thorpe
T210 Cowan Richmond same pose as his T209 will do!

First thing that comes to mind for me is a Cracker Jack George Gibson.
Sure wish he was in one (or both) of those sets.

Cheers,

Richard.
