Thanks. I definitely missed seeing the Newman cut.
Went back and looked for articles from that time frame and came across this one. Nancy Dowd wasn't happy with the Hanson/Carlson act carrying on. I imagine she would have been the licensing roadblock to a full slap shot set.

Topps had the Hanson theme in Ginter 2021. Kind of a funny set as well - the triple auto had Chiefs logos, the individual cards did not.
