1. Esoteric Posted: March 25, 2013 at 01:48 PM (#4395889)And I can't stress enough what an odd photo to use that is. I'd love to see the other pictures they had available to them that they decided "yeah, let's grab the one of the guy sweating like a demon with an expression of a guy who just gave up a three run homer."
That's his personality!
Yeah... there's probably some over-parsing of a 2 sentence tweet going on here. C'mon guys, we're only a week away from the regular season - we can make it!
Steroids!
Gwynn 87 Topps
He was rooming with Oscar Gamble.
Seeing Tony Gwynn today it is difficult to imagine him being that thin.
I've seen lots of cards where they airbrushed in a new hat, but never one where they airbrushed in a new face.
Or, I suppose, this.
Good stuff.
Or Brian Harper.
Big glove!
Big hair!
Mike Laga wants to know too.
- pictures taken during spring training, in the sunny south, somewhere around 11 AM
- boozing it up every night
- very pale eyes, probably means light sensitivity
Chris Sabo.
"Grandpa, what was life like before Photoshop?"
That's easy; someone washed his white uni with the red Cardinals' socks. The same thing happened to me in 9th grade; nothing like having to wear a pink tee shirt to gym to improve one's self-esteem.
At least he appears to be blocking a shot.

I've got one of these at home (minus the autograph).
Normal-looking until Gates Brown shattered his jaw.
I know that's what happened with the 1978 Mike Paxton and the 1977 Rick Jones, which both have the same colorized effect. And yes, they do look like drawings.

I have this card here at home.
Meanwhile, weird fact on wiki: "There have been three players in major league history named Aurelio (two of whom played for the Detroit Tigers), and all three were killed in car accidents between the ages of 44 and 53. See also Aurelio López and Aurelio Monteagudo."
oh, and for those who never heard about the blind pitcher..

They did a few colorized B&W photos on the rookie cards around that time, but I don't remember any others on a full card.
That's Graham Parker.
Toby Kimball basketball card, 1974-75
http://www.comc.com/Cards/Basketball/1973-74/Topps/37/Toby_Kimball/1386428
looks more like the strongman in the circus than a basketball player
versus
Groucho Marx
Much, much worse.
Brett Butler's Milk Bone card is pretty funny.
