Collectors have long wondered what a 1953 Topps card of Stan Musial might have looked like.
Now, we have one. Well, sort of.
On Wednesday, Topps revealed the three newest cards in its weekly Living Set program and Musial was one of them. Like all of the Living Set cards, the Musial was created in the style of the ’53 set by artist Mayumi Seto. The cards are available for $7.99 (less in quantity) via Topps’ website for the next week (single cards are a little cheaper on eBay).
Musial was conspicuously absent from Topps’ sets during much of his career over compensation issues but did appear on some Bowman cards and in Topps during the latter part of his playing days.

All proceeds benefit The Jimmy Fund.
