If I'm deciphering your abbreviations - always a challenge - Uecker did not pose for Topps after midseason 1965 while the Cardinals were visiting Shea Stadium. Thus there are no Topps images of him with Philadelphia or Atlanta.

If you'll look carefully, you'll see that Uecker's 1967 Topps card shows a picture of him that was taken at the Polo Grounds, thus dating it to 1963 or even 1962 when he was still with Milwaukee (though in the 1962 shoot used on his 1963 card he does not appear to be wearing a black turtleneck as he is in the image used on the '67 card).

Never found out why but Bob has also been touchy about the printing and selling of images of him by other photographers.

On a separate point, Topps evidently did not photograph Bill Stoneman after he went to the Angels. I checked.
