Comments
I don't know how they ever thought this would be a good idea. | ||
Please let me know if you know of others. I'm sure there are many. | ||
This may be my favorite list on the site now. I did not know this was ever a thing they did. | ||
The Rogie Vachon one is hillarious! | ||
Does anyone know the reason why they did that? Could they not get photos in time so they cut corners? | ||
O-Pee-Chee did not have photos of the players with their current teams. Often a new uniform colour was air brushed over the old one, or they just put a head on a body already in the correctly coloured uniform. In most cases, Topps which issued a smaller set a couple of months earlier than O-Pee-Chee, used photos of the players in their old uniforms instead of photo doctoring. | ||
Three more from 1963-64 Parkhurst. | ||
Weren't there a few Boston Bruins cards from the late '60s and early '70s similar to this? There are Ken Hodge and Wayne Cashman cards with gloves numbered #17 ... which was NOT their uniform number. Uggh, some of these cards also show Espo and Hodge wearing street pants. | ||
Dave Balon's head is superimposed on Bobby Rousseau's body. Rousseau was the only Canadien to wear #15 from 61-64. #91 Harper is also on Rousseau's body. | ||
This is a great list! Now that I've seen these cards, I can't 'unsee' it. Hillarious really. | ||
You'll see some equally horrific examples of this "technique" here: https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/131045/1972-Puerto-Rican-Winter-League-Stickers |
