72. Dreadshot
A Topps card featuring basically nothing but the noggin of the ballplayer.

See also: Nomad Hatter - a card showing a player on his ‘new’ team, sporting a badly airbrushed cap.

Looks like he's wearing a helmet, not a cap.

Here's a couple of other egregiously airbrushed cards.

Seems like the A’s got airbrushed a bunch. Helmet and jersey. Plus, why the red?

That '71 Dick Williams could be a Topps Project 2020 card.

EDIT to add: So could the '77 Tommy Helms.
