Same day...

Great job by the way w/the gif. Since this one has reached a conclusion let’s revisit any B. Robby cards that may have variations. OR you can work on the Orioles picture pack photos of the greatest third baseman of all time and study all the cropping difference, of the same photo, and definitively once and for all put the correct year on each and every variation. Whatcha think?!?

There is actually a reason for this photo reuse - during 67/68, the MLBPA was taking control of the licensing for baseball cards via a photo boycott. Topps had the rights to print the cards due to previously-signed contracts, but the players refused to pose for new photos. So in many cases, earlier photos were used.

That also explains why some teams, like the Red Sox, did not have Topps team cards in 1968.

Topps tried to strong arm the new guy Marvin Miller and lost. Keith Olbermann did a good article for SCD about photo reuse in this period.

I never realized that Mike Schmidt played for the Orioles....
