He made his first appearance in the 1960 Set and called it a topps career in the 1984 Set

thats 25 years of Topps Baseball.

I don't see a base topps card for him in 1994, just a "pre-production" and stadium club.

Nolan Ryan for baseball
Gordie Howe for hockey
George Blanda for football

Never checked basketball because they took 12 years off between their first and second sets

i think the whole set of bilingual is a parallel to the base set

Nolan has to be #1... but how about a top 10? George Brett & Cal Ripken have to be in the discussion.

Yes, that is the one i saw. It isn't a BASE TOPPS set card, correct?

I should be able to put together a list with a couple simple commands if you need it after you finish your speculation.

Do you want most total years or most continuous years?

Continuous, active playing years.

Rickey Henderson was there for quite a while. although in the early 2000's I think he was skipped once or twice.
