As they planned the 1974 set, I imagine the conversation in the Topps art department went something like this...

"We've pictured Hammerin' Hank from every conceivable angle over his career, so what can we possibly do differently, people?"

"Boss, I've got it!!!!!!! Let's basically show the back of his head!!!!!"

"Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!! And next year, we'll take another picture from that very same photoshoot and airbrush the heck out of it!!!!!"

“I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice.”
Casey Stengel

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.

It almost looks like Topps was Comparing Allen's sideburns with Aaron's clean shave

Default Pointing Forward Ford
Least favorite pose: any card showing Whitey Ford pointing forward in his look-I-just-threw-a-pitch pose (e.g., Topps ‘57, ‘62, ‘64, ‘66, ‘67). One of the all time great pitchers, but one of the all time crappiest poses.

I will never agree with the popularity of this set (and especially this one). Especially since most other Jackies show a great smile or resemblance of him.

It's even worse than the usual children-like quality '48 Leaf drawings and poses. His expression, the horribly done extra blackface, the rest of the card's coloring....

I'm a fan of Connie Mack's cards, except for this one. I traded it away a while ago.

How about the Satchel Paige from this set? Why would they chose a photo with his eyes closed?! Every time I see it, I get irritated
