How often do you see this

RobE · April 8, 2004 4:11AM

I don't know if this has been discussed before but the theme of this thread should be easy to have fun with by looking at these examples.

RedHeart54 · April 8, 2004 4:13AM

They did the same thing with the '68 and '69 Larry Haney (albeit the '69 was a reversed negative).

Check out the 1963 and 1964 Yaz cards! Wish I could post the pics.

from the 6th best Yaz player coll. on the registry

calleocho · April 8, 2004 4:26AM

damn you are fast!

rbeaton · April 8, 2004 4:29AM

The 65 and 68 Mays cards fall into this category.

srs1a · April 8, 2004 4:39AM

55T and 56T Aaron also share the same image...although I'm having problems loading the pics

CON40 · April 8, 2004 4:45AM

Yeah! The 54s, 55s, and 56s are littered with these duplicate head shots! Ted Williams has the same photo in every set!

Rob, thanks putting those Yaz cards up for me!

curmudgeon · April 8, 2004 4:49AM

The 69 set borrowed heavily from 68--just sitting here, I can think of Yaz, Aaron and Carew as well as Banks. One reason I always thought the 69 set was very unimaginative.

carew4me · April 8, 2004 4:51AM

I would love to have these 2 original photo's!

PHOTO 1:

PHOTO 2:

Edit: found ANOTHER!

srs1a · April 8, 2004 4:59AM

there got it! Images from WrigleyBum's Aaron basic set

carew4me · April 8, 2004 5:03AM

Ok, who can beat me.
4 issues with the same photo!

srs1a · April 8, 2004 5:06AM

I'd also ask if anyone can beat rbeaton -- there seem to be alot of images that are recycled from one year to the next...but reusing the '65 image for the '68 card? Can anyone beat that delta?

jrinck · April 8, 2004 5:12AM

How about: SAME PICTURE, DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER! And none other than our good buddy Rod Carew again!

1982 Fleer Rod Carew (from an Ebay auction)

1982 Topps Rod Carew IA (from CreeperKat's set registry)

packCollector · April 8, 2004 5:14AM

different company , now that is interesting!

Hubcap · April 8, 2004 5:22AM

1961 and 1962 Elston Howard are the same pose.

aconte · April 8, 2004 5:32AM

srs1a,

How about all the red man cards from 1952 to 1955?

CW · April 8, 2004 5:34AM

Even though they're not the exact same picture,
I've always thought it was uncanny how much the
'66 & '68 Topps Mantles looked alike. Even down
to the folds in his blue longsleeve undershirt.

MorrellMan · April 8, 2004 10:54AM

62 Drysdale same as 61; 64 Drysdale same as 63

WinPitcher · April 8, 2004 11:14AM

The use of the same pose for more then 1 yr also gives us the player on a new team but wearing his previous teams colors. and also gives us those cards where the previous teams logo is airbrushed out.

Mantlefan · April 8, 2004 11:25AM

OK...Let's put the shoe on the other foot. Same set....Hal Reniff #139 pitching pose..#139 Portrait pose..#158 Portrait pose!

WinPitcher · April 8, 2004 11:33AM

Frank, does Reniff also have a green tint variety?

RobE · April 8, 2004 11:53AM

Lots of double Rookie cards with the cap brushed black(?68s?),but that's another chapter further into another part of the history.

Cool examples.

Feel free to continue.

Thanks!

mrc32 · April 8, 2004 12:03PM

Mantlefan-
Very cool example. I know nothing about 1962 Topps- but is one of the versions more scare than the other?

ZodiacMindwarp · April 8, 2004 12:11PM

I believe that the same photo was used for all of Lou Piniella's rookie cards. He's the only one off the top of my head that I can think of that has three rookie cards.

Mantlefan · April 8, 2004 12:12PM

Very cool example. I know nothing about 1962 Topps- but is one of the versions more scare than the other?

Pitching pose.... 12 PSA 8..... Portrait pose..... 14 PSA 8. mrc32....Several of the cards in the 1962 Topps BB set second series came in 2 different poses..not sure why. Also, some of the cards have a distinct green tint, which is recognized as a variation.

Frank, does Reniff also have a green tint variety?

Hi Win...nope, although my cards look like the sky's kinda green, PSA lists no green tints of this card.

jimtb · April 8, 2004 12:22PM

That's amazing that Fleer and Topps used the same picture. Someone should have got fired over that one.

murcerfan · April 8, 2004 12:25PM

Mickey Mantle:
1953 Briggs
1953 Stahl-Meyer
1954 Dan Dee
1954 Stahl-Meyer
1955 Stahl-Meyer

take another picture already, eh?

edited to add: Rizzuto and Bauer...ditto and ditto

jaybyrd · April 8, 2004 12:47PM

1960 and 61 Koufax - The black and white smaller picture on the 1960 card is the same picture that is used on the 1961 Koufax. The black and white picture on the 1960 Berra goes all the way back to the 1950 Bowman.

Vargha · April 8, 2004 12:59PM

1950 and 1951 Bowman had alot of the same pictures.

MorrellMan · April 8, 2004 2:29PM

My recollection is the entire 2nd series (111-198) could be found with green tints. I remember buying them in '62 and not being happy with a card until I got it with standard coloring.

MorrellMan · April 8, 2004 2:39PM

Talk about major dissin': Jim Coates, 1961 and 1962, same pose, both cards issued late in the year in the high numbers. His '59 card, although a head shot, was also in the high series, the small picture in the 1960 card was the same as '61 and '62, and after '63, he didn't have another card until '67 which was his last. Did Topps run him out of baseball?

RTB · April 8, 2004 2:44PM

Interesting topic... In 1956 Topps used at least 5 of the pictures from the 1955 Bowman football set. The duplicated pix are: Alan Ameche #8/12 (Bowman/Topps), Bobby Dillon #122/103, Vic Janowicz #133/13, Bert Rechichar #20/84 and Bobby Watkins #58/95.

the 76 and 78 taveras and the 76 foster and 78 rbi leader.

gemint · April 8, 2004 4:52PM

I think this is the worst example of stretching the use of the same photo over a period of time...

jaybyrd · April 9, 2004 8:30AM

Mickey Mantle really kept his boyish looks, even seventeen years later.

sellerman23 · April 9, 2004 11:38AM

I have been meaning to start a thread like this before but have been too lazy/busy to scan my cards. I collect Red Sox team cards and have noticed that they do a lot of recycling when it come to the team pictures.

Here is the breakdown:

1960, 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1964 all use the same photo!
1965, 1966 and 1967 use the same photo.
1972 and 1973 as well.

After that they actually used current photos on the team cards.

Interesting, huh? 5 years with the exact same photo! This has got to be a record for consecutive years with the same photo.
I wonder if anyone can verify the same recycling with other teams.
