Name the card. 1970’s Topps baseball edition.

There appear to be three base 1972 cards of "in-game" photos (one that wouldn't really be "in action') and a couple candid warm-up (batting practice or catch) shots that capture real motion rather than posed.

Clue - his initials are “VG”

Looks like a card from the 1958 Topps set, but I don't see a card for a player with the initials VG in that set.

Two more clues - 1971 and the player never made the the majors.

Fritz Peterson
I had it narrowed down to Giants or Yankees based on the color stripes, had no idea who though.

I finally figured it out thanks to the clues: Vernon Grover from the rare winners subset.

Nice work. Fascinating story behind those cards. Some winners opted for 1972 Topps wax packs and a set in lieu of their own card.
