Cardboard Cousins: '63 Topps/'12 Heritage

Once again, most of the card numbers seem to match at least the player's position. Here are the ones I have that match more than that. '63 is the last year where I have relatively few cards from the vintage set. I will have to pare these down even further starting with '64/'13 so these don't become huge posts.

#289 Yankees pitchers
 #232 Red Sox first basemen
 #155 Yankees pitchers
 #149 Washington shortstops
 #136 Papelbon is pictured with the Phillies here but had been with the Red Sox in 2011. Delock was traded to the Orioles mid-1963.
 #130 Cardinals third basemen (some World Series heroics for both too)
 #100 White Sox first basemen. Clearly #100 wasn't a star number for Topps yet.
 #46 Braves outfielders
 #23 Kansas City managers
 #8 AL Pitching Leaders. Usually the players on the vintage league leader cards seem like bigger names than the current ones. Here the more recent card is clearly the winner.
