So you figure they're not much to look at?

I'm not sure whether Topps had further designs to gussy them up, but based on a coup d'œil in the direction of similarly functional issues that came out in the ensuing years, they weren't much to look at either. For example, the Topps Punch Outs from 66 or 67, or the Milton Bradley issues from 69, 70, or 72. If I had to guess, since they were intended to be used in game play, Topps was less focused on form and more focused on function. But that's just my guess.
