Nothing but fabulous cards in this thread! I think Sandy Koufax is my favorite pitcher of all-time in the history of baseball. So happy to have 2 full game TV broadcast videos (Kinescope) from the 1965 World Series, including game 7, in order to see him in action, and also 2 partial radio broadcasts of 2 of his no-hitters, including the 1965 perfect game (only the 9th inning, but still, it's Vin Scully...).

Just a random thought: Sandy Koufax seems to have been spared by Topps as having none of his images duplicated on his different cards.
Even his close up head shot on the '55 and '56 are different. A lot of the other players, such as Clemente, Aaron, Mays, Banks all have the same head shots on the '55 and '56 cards. The only Koufax image on the front of the card that I am aware of that was used twice is the small action picture on the '60 Topps was used as the '61 front. I realize Koufax's career was relatively short, limiting the chance for duplicates, but it still seems like he lucked out. You've got players like Willie Mays, where they used the same close-up head shot 3 years in a row ('54-'56) and the same image (just cropped) between '65 and '68 and again between '66 and '69.

Agree, he has good diversity within his run, and a good amount of leader cards as well. Good catch, the Mays example probably wouldn’t bug me much if I collected him, but obviously would imagine all would’ve liked some variety!

Pretty cool, and agree on Mr. Scully….
Wish there was a lot more video on him, would have been something to see him in person….I always wondered if the buzz was different in the stadium back in the 60s when Koufax pitched compared to modern baseball. Quote:
