Marshall And Staub
No, and yes.
My understanding is that Marshall did not pose for a Topps image after Spring Training, 1969 (his 1971 card and 1974 "Leading Fireman" cards feature airbrushed Pilots caps, his 1972 image was obtained from an outside source, his 1973 card and 1974 Traded cards feature an airbrushed Toledo Mudhens image from 1968). Marshall managed to get himself excluded from the Players' Association somehow in the late '70s, so his last card dates to 1976 and his file at Topps had nothing new in it past 1969.
As to Staub, he clearly not only posed with Topps as a Met during his second stint, 1981-85 (as the 1981 Traded card below shows), but he also did in 1974-75 (as the 1976 Traded card below shows - that's a Tiger airbrush over it, but it's a Mets image, at Shea). His dispute with Topps, which resulted in no Staub cards in 1972 or 1973, is unclear and in fact I've asked about it and he can't remember.
But there are Staub/Mets 1974-75 images in a box somewhere in Duryea, Pennsylvania. And they could appear any time between now and the year 3000.
