Yes Kevin, to both of your questions. The Yaz and Charlie Hustle shots were indeed used in consecutive years, and they both look so much better the second time around. At least Topps took the time, expense, and trouble to give us kids a brand new shot of Mickey Mantle for his regular card each year.
Good topic for serious griping, though the complaints from the pre-war guys on the re-use of the same photo for the T cards would drown us out.
Don't get me started regarding what Topps did with their 60s-70s hockey---what a sham, or a shame if you prefer.
