One from the
'What were they thinking?' file.
While looking at the 1962 set, I ran across this card and couldn't help but wonder if the people at Topps were really hitting the happy hours hard in Brooklyn at the time.

They put the oval caption section in the exact same place it is found on horizontal-based cards in the set (like the Pride of the A's card below)...but this card is situated vertically. Why didn't they put it at the bottom where you could read it without awkwardly tilting the card (like the Homer Kings card below)?? It surely would fit. How in heck does the layout they created make any kind of sense?? It is beyond ridiculous looking and it just makes me laugh. Their art department must have been way boozy in those days, causing them to drop the ball (pun definitely intended)!!
