Well, no, the existence of a Downing/Brewers Topps card proves nothing.
Plenty of examples in the archives of missing files, missing folders, missing years, missing shoots - or, most disappointingly of all, shoots in which there appeared to have been nothing but closed-eye or blurred images EXCEPT for the one used on the card in question.
Also, if Topps emptied the file folder of Downing and sold off images of him with LA, New York, and Oakland, while they often go back for a second round of eBay sales but I have yet to see them present images of a repeat player with a team they didn't sell earlier.
In short, the odds of a Downing/Brewer image turning up from Topps Vault are probably microscopic.
