Here is one that shows the WORST of both worlds.

Different uniform AND a POOR airbrush job!

No offense to Tom Haller but Topps couldn't put Kaline,Lolich, Horton or any other Tiger in the IA series. They did manage to put Billy Martin in there. I guess they figured Haller was at least as good as other catchers like Mitterwald, Barton, Blefary,Corrales etc. Topps had a thing for bad catchers in 1972.

I just went through my 72 set. It's interesting who got an I/A card, and who did not.

Many "common" players did (Alan Galagher, Pat Corrales????) and many All Stars (Gibson and Brock for 2) did not.

I believe the Cardinals with Torre,Brock, Gibson, Carlton and the Orioles with the Robinsons, Powell, Palmer, McNally etc had none while teams like the Giants, A,s, Mets and Yanks all had at least 10. Tim Foli or John Ellis never excited me living in New York

All of the 1972 Topps In Action cards were photographed at Shea Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Candlestick Park, and the Oakland-Alameda Coliseum, I assume in 1971, apparently the Topps photographers didn't make it to any Cardinal or Oriole games in those stadiums that year.
