Subsequently, the earliest mainstream card of Irvin was included within the 1951 Bowman set. Additionally, another Irvin card was also issued during the 1951 season and is known as a Topps Red-Back. The following season, in 1952, Irvin appeared for the first time in a mainstream Topps issue. Finally, another early Irvin card was produced in conjunction with the 1952 Berk Ross issue.
