At least you can excuse Topps for the '61 Killebrew given that Twins logos were a new animal that year and could have posed airbrush problems for the artists. So too for the '62 Stengel, which is identical to his nice-looking 1960 card but for the cap logo (or lack of same).
Killer's '61 card is vibrant and eye-catching compared to the Willie Mays card from that set, which looks like it was shot about an hour after Willie ate a bad burrito
 .
Must ditto the Keane observation (pun intended). That was my first year collecting, and that card reminded me of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
