(Like the '86 Mickey Hatcher card I just learned about the other day.)

As I recall, the '69 or '70 George MITTerwald card also shows a huge mitt.<br /><br /><br />Base Card Hero,<br /><br />A lot of the '68 Athletics (and Astros?) cards have the black-hat look.<br /><br />I used to think the Topps art department just took an X-acto knife, cut the hat area out of the negative, and the black (or would it have been white?) plate behind the film showed through.Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117013339527801809.post-24804447462896832942017-03-03T22:01:14.381-06:002017-03-03T22:01:14.381-06:00I love these kind of posts.
