Randomly ran across a 1968 card on eBay, and it got me thinking and searching.
The end result is I found another sixty percenter!!! • Jim Bunning had a Topps card career ranging from 1957 to 1971, for a total of 15 seasons, with 9 of those years ungloriously featuring Mr. Sneaky Fastball's noggin. A crazy 60% of the Hall of Famer's total!! A realization: What's wild is, Banks and Koufax both had 'mandatory' 1955 and 1956 head shot cards (with Ernie also having a 'mandatory' header in 1954), but all of Bunning's cards came after those years, so he didn't benefit from forced headshotophobia. His close-ups occurred organically. headshots-jimbunning.jpg (Editor's note: Although there is no actual definition of what constitutes a true 'headshot,' my general basis is the head/hat should occupy about 50% or more of the 'active area.')
