2007 Topps Bengie Molina.....

Socalguy1967

Are the Topps air-brushers that good? I was at Wal-Mart this morning and picked up a few packs of 2007 Topps. When I got to the Bengie Molina card, it struck me as kinda weird. It's a game action shot, but he's fully decked out in San Francisco Giants gear....complete with orange/white batting gloves. To my knowledge, he's never played a game with the giants, and it does state on the back that he signed a free agent contract with them on 12/6/06. Have they totally air brushed the entire uniform, helmet, pin stripe and batting gloves?

That's Barry Bonds with Bengie's face pasted on top of his

Here is another paintjob....not bad really.

I noticed a couple more - like Gary Mathews in an Angel uniform.

The Piazza and Frank Thomas are pretty well done too - sure beats the crayola job on some of the 70s cards of players on new teams...

I can tell from the background that the picture was taken at Rogers Centre (formerly the SkyDome) in Toronto. So the shot was definitely taken when he was a Blue Jay. Sure beats the airbrushes they used to do. Remember the 1992-93 UD (might have been 1991-92) Lindros Flyers card?

Topps has sure come a long way since then...
