Game: How well can you recognize these cards from viewing only a tiny segment?

This isn't really a contest, more-so a personal challenge to see how well you can identify a card when viewing only a small segment of it with merely a passing glance.
All but one of these card segments are Topps issued cards from the 50's, 60's and 70's. None of these cards are commons.
This is meant to be an immediate recognition type deal, so if you can't identify it quickly, don't bother to go searching and figure it out that way, just guess. Some will be much easier than others. I recommend posting your solution before looking at the other posts as to not spoil it.

I think you are mistaken about #15.

No, he's right. Thats just one of the other guys on the card.

There are 2 other guys on that card. One of them is Ron Cey. So it technically is a 1973 Ron Cey card. It is also a 1973 John Hilton card.

#13 is Chamberlin Fleer 61

Cey and Hilton are certainly on the 1973 Schmidt rookie. I just don't think #15 is the 1973 Schmidt.

Good call on the Chamberlain. I was thinking all Baseball. I would love some football cards thrown in there.

Sure it is. Just check some of the Basic Player Registries and check the scan. That's what I had to do just to make sure.
I got all on recognition except #s 2 and 7.
How about this one:

Round 2 - only 12 cards here, but should prove much more of a challenge. Still only Topps cards, and still no commons.

The Babe looks pretty bad on that card, must have been close to a shot from 47'.
