1961 Topps Covington
I always thought the 1961 Topps Wes Covington card was a terrific shot of a player, even a common card at that. I was at a local card show today and found a 2020 stadium club Hank Aaron in a similar shot and picked it up for my own amusement. Enjoy!

The Covington card is a huge favorite of mine. This is my first time seeing that Aaron. I may have to go pick one up. As Phil said, they make a nice pairing.

Absolutely love 1961. My favorite '60s design easily. And Wes's card is one of the best. Something about the color of them and contrast, reminds me of '53 bc actually. Also love Aaron's '61 it's my favorite Aaron.

The first major league game I ever saw was the Phillies v. Giants at Shibe Park in Philadelphia in 1963. Jack Sanford of the Giants would have had a one-hit shutout had he not had to face Covington, who went 4 for 4 with a home run. I always had a special interest in Covington after that. The '57 Topps is a great card, too.

I've got a rule that the more lumber that is shown on a card (or baseball photo), the better.
When seeing a photo like that, I always wonder if any of those bats survived to today or were they all used for firewood?

His 57 and 61 are great cards

Mr. Covington was wielding extra lumber in 62 as well, in another great card.

Not as good a hitter as Killebrew, but a classic bat rack card

They could all be captioned...
