Topps Vault is currently offering up this original 1968 color negative on eBay.

Anyone care to guess why it wasn't used?

    I am ashamed to admit just how amused I was by this. Thanks for sharing it,

    Brings new meaning to the phrase "had him for lunch".

    Hopefully they washed #45 jersey before they put it on a GU card!

    Well the 666 on his jersey probably didn't help either.

    That's the negative? Shouldn't the image be reversed?

    Or are they selling a PRINT from the original negative?

    I'm going off of memory, cause it's been many years since I did advertising and catalogs, but I will try.
    When you do negs/positive films, or color separations for printing they use either positives or negatives and that depends if it's 1 color up to 4 color. Additionally, it depends how they wanted the neg or pos. film, as either rred (righthand reading emulsion down) or rreu (righthand reading emulsion up). I used to deal directly with big magazines like Hot Rod and Super Chevy and they always had different requirements. It probably depended on software or printer type??? I don't know if that helps or confuses you. image

    It could be a Positive Negative...????????????? Either way, it should look like the photo...I think?? lol

    And if nothing makes sense, I guess I got one more post..image

    If only Bill Buckner could have had a professional football player stuck up his exit hole . . . history would have been so different.

    I'm soooo glad he did that in Boston and didn't do that when he was with the Dodgers....image
