Cardboard Cousins: 1986 Sports Design Products/1969 Topps

 In 1986 something called Sports Design Products produced a 24-card set of 1960s legends with photos by photographer JD McCarthy. I somehow ended up with the whole set in some bulk purchase many years ago. The set uses the 1969 Topps Design.

#20 of each set features a big-time Hall of Fame slugger from the National League. I like the way the bat lines up with the light tower in each photo. These two stars, who were second and third in the NL MVP voting in 1955, combined for 925 home runs in their storied careers.
