There are a few threads in here highlighting the reuse of some photos, but I do not recall a thread devoted to it. Maybe people could start adding them here.

There are multiple threads/articles, but Mark Armour's article did a good job explaining why in the 60s Topps used the same images, sometimes even 7-8 years apart. Bowman, as seen with the Spahn's cards from 49-51, recycled images of other players also, IE Doyle Lade 49-51.
