    It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread... What a classic image, those Upper Deck guys had a great sense of humor.

    If I knew how to post, I'd post Steve Bilko's card from the 61 Angels. Its # 184. Its viewable from the 61 Angels in the team section of the Psa registry.

    Its one ugly scary card. It really reminds me of one of them troll things my sisters use to collect in the late 60's ,early 70's.

    Maybe the Royals installed that to catch all the grounders they anticipated going through his legs. imageimage

    Interesting 1989 Score Paul Gibson, but since I bought it as a factory set, I most likely did not get the "crotch grabbing" version (I can check to be sure). Anyway, I can't believe no one mentioned the surfboard guy from 1988 Fleer! image

    On that 1971 Topps card Robinson looks like he's crawing through the desert in Beyond Thunderdome or lost on Tattoinne waiting for Jabba The Hutt to come pick him up.

    Maybe someone can make a card of Leiber and his monster truck:

    Original negative purchased from the Topps Co. Never used for a card. In the 1974-75 set, Topps airbrushed the photos and placed them on nondescript backgrounds. Notice Hall-Of-Famers Nate Thurmond and Rick Barry in the back, feeding ducks. Taken at Topps' Golden State Warriors photo shoot in the late summer of 1974. Photo taken at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
