Cool, but I specifically asked for two. ;-) Three will be tough to beat.

For different years, it was quite common. I think there are dozens of such examples.

Are you blind? Can't you see Mr. Brockington is clearly wearing an extremely natural, non-airbrushed, totally authentic green jersey in that All-Pro card?
If Topps paid their airbrusher anything more than all the magical gum dust they could inhale, then they paid them too much.

That's hilarious. Separated at birth, eh?
It also shows how far air brushing has come since 1972.
As far as the same photo used the most times, I think Phil Esposito was the ultimate winner. I'd have to go back to a prior thread, but I believe he had one pose used maybe 10 times on about 7 or 8 different cards from 71-72 through 74-75 as the league and team leaders cards pumped up the count. Luckily for Phil, not all of them were full body shots showing his hip, snazzy pants.
