52 Topps image?
I just bought this 1952 picture of Hoyt Wilhelm. I thought it looked very similar to the photo for his 1952 Topps card. Does anyone know how much artistic license that Topps took with images they used in production? I am curious how much of the variation between the card and photo are the result of painting/editing. The Topps hat and jersey are obviously painted/edited. I highlighted the similiarities between the images. Am I hallucinating? Nonetheless I am very pleased to add the photo to my collection.
