I'm sure most of you have already received this or will shortly, but this e-mail just arrived:
Dear Registry Member,
This is to notify you that we are making a small change to the player sets. Effectively immediately, we will add to the player set composites all cards that were manufactured one year past the player’s retirement. Previously, the only post-play cards accepted were those that had the player’s stats printed on the back of the card. We are making this change because cards, with or without stats, issued the year following retirement are meant to depict the player’s previous season.
This change applies to Baseball, Basketball, Football and Hockey player sets. (Miscellaneous Sports and Non-Sport player sets are open-ended.) The sets will be updated as requests are made and you will no longer be asked to send us a scan for these one year post-play cards. Please use the online request form to submit your request. If you had sent in a request for a post-play year addition and it was denied, you will need to re-submit your request. Cards will be added to sets in the order received. Currently, we are running approximately 6-8 weeks on player set updates.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us.
Thanks for your continuing support and happy holidays to you all!

This would not be accepted, because it falls outside of the design principles of the statement. A card issued in the immediate following season is meant to depict their playing days. A card issued 2 or more years later is in the category of a commemorative card highlighting the player's accomplishment[s] before retirement.
My small collection
Want List:
'61 Topps Roy Campanella in PSA 5-7
Cardinal T206 cards

How about the 1971 Yankees team card?
[For those who don't know, Topps used a picture from 1967 for this card, so Mantle is in the team picture.]

I wonder if PSA researched this card prior to determining to include it in the Thurman Munson master set? Obviously 1967 is way before his rookie year.
