Can't resist continuing the off-topicdom for at least one more post: Did the contract rules/usual practices change at some point?

Seems like most older Topps cards came after a player's big-league debut, but not always. Tom Parsons' '62 Pirates card always interested me: He didn't make his debut until the next year, yet there he is. And in what I believe is another rarity for vintage Topps, three years later Parsons has gone from a card of his own to sharing a rookie card with Cleon Jones.

(Not in Met togs, alas, but oh well.)

Sorry for the continued digression, but I just love this stuff.
