Older Topps sets might beg to disagree with your assertion that the last card didn’t matter — 1954, 1960, 1961, 1975 to name a few. I always wondered about why Topps didn’t do team numbering, too, and it’s one of the advantages that Fleer had. I loved that they (Fleer) put the teams in order of finish, so the world champs were always up front.

I don’t believe Topps Baseball gave much (if any) consideration to 792 or whatever the last card was in its baseball sets. Ironically, from 1982-1989 (and into the 1990s), Topps Football organized the players by team in alphabetical order based on conference. I have no idea why Topps Baseball didn’t follow a similar protocol. Topps Football sets are much easier to page through as compared to Topps Baseball.
