Totally agree with JollyElm, as has been discussed in a few other threads. At least for Mays they skipped a couple years before re-using a pic; Hank Aaron and others have the same photos as in 1968. Also, I was recently noticing the Chris Short card. It was shot in the Polo Grounds, where the Mets last played in 1963.
