1960's Topps Team Cards From My Gene Stephens Collection

This is in response to a request from ALR-bishop in regards to my Gene Stephens collection. I collect Gene Stephens player, team and checklists. Gene left the Red Sox in 1960 yet he is on their team photo through 1964. He is also on three years worth of A's and White Sox team cards. 1964 is overlapping for three teams, White Sox, Red Sox and A's.

I have always liked his 59 card.

Pretty neat! 3 TC's in one year, wonder if that's the record?

And based on your handle-Up the Irons!

In a sense I collect all Topps team cards since I collect all the sets, but confess to never giving much scrutiny to the photos except for the two versions of the 51 Topps team cards

Learned some interesting stuff. Maybe others, with better /younger eyes will spot other anomalies to add

Not a PSA guy or a player collector . If a player clearly shows up on a team card do you need it for master player collections ?
