Default 1967 Topps stand ups

The 1968 poster set still has the ugly airbrush jobs on Hunter, Howard (although not so bad on the blue helmet), Wynn, and Staub. In addition, Wynn and Staub are the only two that have the city name rather than the team name.

I admit to being surprised (confused?) by the airbrush job on the Houston players. I thought the conflict about the Colt 45s vs Astros had been resolved in 1965.

The 1967 Astros had "Astros" on the front of their home jerseys. The 1967 Topps cards, while showing most players in the road uniforms (with Houston on the front) do show a couple of players (Sonny Jackson, Jim Landis) in the home Astros uniform.
