Also with the man sitting at 10 o'clock relative to the woman his shirt changes from yellow to white.

Yeah, didn't want to mention it but I always take an extra shirt or two of different colors when attending a MLB game.

And where is the proof that the ball actually went into orbit?

So, someone probably has some original artwork from one of these special cards in 1962 and can verify, but it sure looks like the card was produced from flexichromes created from original black and white photos. But wouldn't you think they would have had the same artist do shots two and three, and keep the fans in the same colored shirts?

Too much effort. The quality control requirement was not to make a perfectly sequenced trio of action photos; the requirement was just to fool the world for 57 years.
