Players Who Went The Longest Without Cards?

Joe Mantiply. 2016 debut. In majors since 2019 steadily. 2023 RC, I believe.

For the purposes of the thread lets leave out anyone during the war years or prior to them.

Xavier Cedeno has 254 games spanning 2011 through 2019 without a single card having been made.

Anthony Misiewicz, from 2020-24, 131 MLB games. No cards yet but maybe his brief stint with the Yankees this year will get him his RC.

Nick Vincent has only a 2019 Topps Total (online availability only) to show for 412 games from 2012-2021.

In short, much like linebackers and guards hardly ever have cards, Topps shows middle relievers no love.

If I am allowed to switch sports and ignore years without major releases. The Pistons Bad Boy era teams had a human celebration player…Chuck Nevitt. We all knew the game was over and the crowd would chant “Nevitt! Nevitt!” Until he hit the floor to rousing cheers.

A great memory for us locals, but even with the tongue in cheek fame, Chuck only received one card in his 10 season career and well toward the end.

Such a shame for these guys. Bowman produces so many cards every year of guys who are playing in the Dominican Summer league and yet nothing to show for some actual major leaguers.

Did Marshall Bridges ever get onto a card? I don’t think so, despite several years of steady play in the 60’s.

A lesson in knowing somebody who can get something done...I guess.

It's not who you know, it's who you know.
