Default lots of good choices
I really like the 1970 Topps, and the '67 too. But it seems to me the best representation of Catfish requires him to: a) have that mustache; and b) be wearing that colorful A's uni that stood out back in the day. So I picked 1975, which has a good full shot of his face. Demerits to 1973 for showing a follow- through pose with ball still in hand

Agreed. Catfish with a stash is the best Catfish.

Just to be contrary, here is his 75 Hostess (not mine, scan off Ebay)

And for all of you who bang on pitch and inning counts, Catfish won 200 games by age 30, 23 after 30 and was out of baseball at age 33, going 2 and 9 in his final season. His career was very similar to many young arms who started pitching in the early and mid 60's.
