Topps used mug shots with the stadiums airbrushed into the background?

Or

Moganas rookie card photo shoot was going on at the same time?

The photographer always had Raquel Welch sitting in the front row of the stands during his shoots?

Where was the Mack Jones shot? Maybe a cornfield in Iowa?? He does not have a stadium in the background.

I believe the Topps photogs were instructed to get certain characteristic shots; looks like a few of them got used here. Or they were all sitting for silhouettes.

Perhaps Don Mossi's cards should have used the mug shot approach

I asked a long-time Topps photographer where they kept all these types of images. He told me in the pro-file.

Probably a standard Topps pose, and one that inspired 1965 Topps Embossed, with all its profiles.

Also, shot was likely taken outside on a bright day and their hat brims would've shadowed faces, so the photog used a bright flash and shot from the side.
