The head just doesn't seem to fit the body

Here's a nice example of this well-known and popular card:

1972 Topps Steve Garvey

While never owning a copy, I've seen pictures of the card in passing over the years. Nothing ever looked odd about it until today. I was just staring at this card, considering a bid, when it suddenly struck me that the position of Garvey's head on his body just doesn't seem right. It almost looks like they took somebody else's body and cropped in Garvey's head. I'm not accusing Topps of this, but there is just something odd about this.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a wierd looking card?

maybe it's just an optical illusion because of the angle but it sure looks "photoshopped"

It's funny that you mention that...I've thought the exact same thing since I first saw one of those cards back in the late 1970s

The same thing is often said about these pictures.....conspiracy buffs claim that Oswald's head has been pasted onto the body because the shadows etc. are wrong!

I wonder how Mr.Garvey would feel if he knew that he was a piece of a historical experiment,or should we say a victim of primative photoshop.

There's been some pretty creative air brushing out there over the years.

Very cheesey but Nostalgic nonethless.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he used a body double

I've seen a few early 70s hockey issues which had obvious head transplants.

So are you saying that it was really Steve Garvey who killed Kennedy?
