I've often thought about how disappointing it must have been back in the days of the Topps monopoly to wait all winter for the new card release, luck into pulling a card of your favorite player, and then be stuck with a weird Pic of the guy, and have to hope next year was better. Or not the same Pic just cropped differently, like what occurs in a lot of the 60s sets. Even in 1981, when I got my start with cards, as bad as Donruss and Fleer could be, at least you had choices.

The 75 has to be one of the worst photos of Schmidt on any card, right? That thing is so weird and bad.
I tend to nickname my cards. I refer to his 79 as "the bad whiff" cause that's what I assume caused that face.
