1975 Hank Aaron -- #660 with different photo?

Looks a lot better than his real '75 card which, even for a mid-70s Topps paint job, is pretty horrific.

Yes, indeed. Amazing to me that they would have gone the airbrushing route for the "original" #660.

His move to Milwaukee didn't leave enough time for Topps to procure a Brewers image. Still, MUCH better paint jobs exist from that era, even that set.

Also a 2 second google search shows the image is out there. I found it used in a UK ESPN article.

Fantasy card, I guarantee there isn’t a single 1975 Topps card that shows a player in their new 1975 team uniform. Someone could say the 1975 Bob Locker but that’s just a 1973 photo of him in a Cubs uniform when he was going back and forth between the A’s and the Cubs.
