1972 Baltimore Team Proof
I collect '72 Topps Proofs. Here is a Baltimore Team card - which is a high numbered card. This regular issue card is notorious for being miscut with most cards in the regular issue having very poor centering. I was happy to find a proof - and it was centered!
Oddly, the regular issue card is cropped in exactly the same way as the proof I have....cutting out 2/3rd of the equipment manager and one other coach. The photo appears to be similar to the regular press issue photo of the team excluding a few players. The bat boy - always given a front & center spot in the Baltimore team photos - lost both of his hands when he was 2 and used metal hooks to pick up bats. He was their good luck charm, having joined the team in magical year of 1966 when they won their first World Series. Z Wheat
