Hey Bob I wonder where that last photo came from? Reminds me of the 1963 Bronx Bombers card with Mick, Tresh and Richardson. Always thought a Mantle / Maris card would have been much better. Wonder if that was a Topps photo that they scrapped? Would have been a great card.

Dan:

I pulled the mag and saw that the two centerfold color pics are courtesy of Topps. There is no other attribution/credit for any of the other pics but it would seem logical that some of the others (including that one you pointed out) came from Topps as well. Great spot!
