The Fix Is In for Billy...
Whether you like the 1964 Topps set or not, it contains a very cool design element where a part of the player (usually his hat) breaks into the top white border area. The strange thing about it, though, is that it is suspiciously non-existent on some of the cards. One that has always jumped out at me is #175 HOF'er Billy Williams. Why in heck did the Topps art department leave Billy's cap a hair short of the border like that?? Was the layout done during a 'hangover workday'?? Who knows. So here is the original card alongside how #26 should have appeared the year the Beatles landed at JFK...

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.  Last edited by JollyElm; 08-09-2018 at 03:55 PM.
