Of course, just fun, speculation.
Think of opportunities topps had to make the following cards.
and how popular they would have been
1968 red sox team card
1968 yankees team card
1972 Topps traded Lyle
1969 maris
1969 ellie howard
perhaps combo card of above two w.s friends
think of some others
does anybody have that link wherwe they show cards that "might have been" e.g. 67 koufax, etc.
In the USA all men are created equal but some are more equal than others....

yeah a 1957 musial would be great...
also a
1972 and 1973 staub. had a friend who favorite player was staub, he was just aquired by the mets in 72, kept waiting for his 1972 card but it never came.....
His 1972 topps traded would have been great also.

I really, really, REALLY would have loved to have seen a 1955 Bowman Otto Graham. That would have been a fantastic card IMO. Graham had retired, but decided to comeback after Paul Brown "begged" him to return for one final season. He came back to the team after training camp ended, so Bowman must have printed prior to him coming back to the team. He came back and led the Browns to the 1955 NFL championship...his 10th championship game in 10 years.0

Oooh. The Holy Relic inserts that might have been. Better keep the folks at Topps away from the Shroud of Turin.

Ryan how about a 1952 Bowman Marion Motley? I believe he was serving the armed forces that year? I would have LOVED to see that design!
Two other cards that leave me heartbroken that were never produced were 1953 Bowman Color Willie Mays and Jackie Robinson as well..0 -
I like the 1983 Topps Mattingly, but I don't think he had a mustache back then. So, it must have been a later picture.0

AHH a 52 Bowman Motley! A 52 LARGE wouldn't have been large enough for Motley!

1967 Koufax! (and not a leader card, but his own card, with complete career stats, like the '69 Mantle).Capecards0

I would have liked to see a 1980 Topps WS subset. Being a Pirate fan, I was waiting in anticipation for the 1980 set to be issued knowing that my team would be featured after having won the '79 series. To my disappointment, they didn't issue a WS subset.
I would have liked to see a 1977 Hank Aaron.0 -

Actually, a proof does exist of Reggie in an Orioles uniform. I've never seen a copy of the actually card, but there is a photo of it in the Beckett Price Guide.
