Topps Rep: "How in high heck are we going to disguise the fact that Ron was traded from the Mets to their crosstown rivals, the Yanks?"

Topps Photog: "I got it!! I'll lay on the ground and shoot a picture of the underside of his chin. Marvelous!!"

That's one of the greatest action shots of all time!

Fergie Jenkins out at the plate.

Not baseball, but I've always thought that this Topps card of John Block could have been better . . .

And it seems like Block always signed this card in the black area with a ball point pin.

Here is a 1920 Zeenut 'where did the ball go?' contender.

I think 1973 Topps has a lot of shots that would look great as an original press photo, but aren't really very aesthetically conducive to an individual player's baseball card.

I don't have one handy, but the 1977 Reuschel Brothers card looks like two high school chemistry teachers won a day on the field before the game, presumably for Teacher of the Year awards.

If Memory Serves - Kent Tekulve would not even sign this card of him...

I always make sure I have this scan handy for just these occasions.
