I always thought those Mays cards were an extreme example of reaching back in the archives and that's only a three year gap (they also used his 1966 pic in 1969), but a 6 year gap? Yowzers.

No worries at all...At some point, I read about an even larger gap of time between when the photo Topps used was actually taken and was then subsequently used on a card, but I am unable to recall the details other than it was from the 60s. It must have been frustrating for the many Mays collectors in the 60s to have not one, but two recycled images appear on his cards.
