That's cool. How many years did Topps use that same picture or pose on the cards? The 64 Topps is the same pose.

Very nice compilation

In 1964 at age 14 I attended my first World Series games. Saw Ford pitch in game one. Fortunately for the home team he did not have his best day. Mantle, Berra, and Maris too. Somehow, mainly Gibson, the Cards won it.

Thanks, the '67 is very similar as well.

This is such a cool run of the ‘66 Topps Ford cards. Any certain reason for the year you chose? By the way, thanks so much for sharing for us to enjoy your endeavor. I’ve always wanted to do something similar and once complete display them all together, but just haven’t put it all together. Thanks for the motivation to get me in gear. What’s funny is a couple months ago I started a Brooks autographed run of his regular issue cards. I’ve been collecting Brooks Robinson items for quite a number of years, but never with autos on his regular issue Topps cards. When I started I figured I had a few laying around from over the years, but only found one.

I’m not much into the slabs, but those cards sure look nice in the PSA holders. Now all you have to do is get those proofs, which I guess both are blank backed, out of the slabs and into a PSA holders for uniformity. Would make for an awesome display!
