Cool Teddy Ballgame artwork! I like how those two pieces are actually drawn to resemble the player - almost always the player shown is much more generic. Might be the only artwork piece that was drawn to resemble him, other than maybe the back of the 70(?) Ted Williams manager card, which would be very cool. I'm not sure that all of the Topps artwork survived through the years - some years I have never seen any artwork, although it seems that Topps kept most everything in their files.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder on these, as some in the thread don't seem to find these too interesting, but every one is truly one of a kind, as opposed to the manufactured scarcities marketed in the past 10-15 years of card issues. To each his own, I guess!
Thanks for sharing!
