Three players on Topps cards for 18 consecutive years

Henderson, Raines, Franco -- 1982-2002?

Anyone mention Nolan Ryan yet? I come up with 25 years if you count his shared 1968 rookie card and his Finest card in 1993. He would overlap at least 15 years with the pair of Tommy John and Phil Niekro I believe.

If I can't include John and Phil Niekro since they've been mentioned already, then how about Ryan, Palmer and Joe Niekro, unless I mis-counted.

You could add Ryan to my 1972 list.

A lot of guys from 69-86

Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, and Miguel Cabrera had cards for 19 years (2004-2022).

I am fairly sure I am correct on that.

I think I have the winner. i figured the answer must line with some old knuckleballer. Enter Charlie Hough. Rookie card in 1972, still showing up in Topps as late as 1994. Nolan Ryan shared this period. Carlton Fisk shows up in Topps from 1972 through to 1993. That would be a full 22 years overlap for this trio.
