There is a thread with a story but if I recall correctly, Marvin Miller, as a negotiating tactic with Topps to increase fees, instructed players not to cooperate and pose in the late ‘60s. Therefore 68/69 Aaron are identical, 65/68 Mays, the aforementioned 67/69 Robinson.

Now, this could be misremembered and the result of a bad cheesesteak last evening - and it doesn’t explain 60/61 Yaz, 63/64 Rose (not to mention the similar Mays portrait in 54/55/56 as well as Williams in 54/55/56). All I can say to that is that monopoly breeds laziness
