Has your Clyde King card been photoshopped, Steve, or is that an actual copy?
I'm guessing Clyde would have likely preferred another photo on his 52 Topps card than the one that portrays him, but my copy, and many others that I've looked at don't have him as crossed eyed as your copy.
Curious if your copy is a variation?

It was shocking to me to learn that teams could not afford to replace torn uniforms in 1968.

"Hey, Jer, today we're just gonna snap the standard posed portrait shot of you for your card...but how 'bout we try to add a little bit of flavor to it, some pretend game-action?? I got it!! Okay, make believe you're running downcourt at full speed...when you suddenly stop and lunge out to swat at the ball in your opponent's hands. Yes...perfect!! Feel your momentum stop!! Hold the pose!! Keep that chin up...yes, yes, just like that!!!!"
