Cardboard Cousins: 1962 Topps/2011 Heritage

I don't actually have a lot of '62 Topps, but I do have a lot of '11 Heritage. Almost every pair had some kind of similarity, sometimes just similar pose or just the same position, so I only included the more obvious ones, and a few other interesting pairs. Some really good Yankee ones here.

#490 Yankees third basemen
 #409 Pirates Team
 #391 NL All Star second basemen
 #334 - An AL East team card. Weird they didn't just do the Red Sox again here.
 #305 KC second basemen
 #299 rookie utility infielders.
 #297 Dodgers relievers.
 #291 AL rookie pitchers
 #278 hatless NL pitchers
 #263 multi-player cards
 #190 The Jock Hair of Their Era
 #163 Hot Corner Guardians. (The '62 card features two third basemen. The '11 card does not.)
 #139 Yankees relievers
 #133 Giants outfielders
 #124 Twins pitchers
 #122 KC pitchers
 #110 Yankees first basemen.
 #101 Red Sox outfielders.
 #97 Indians outfielders
 #93 Yankes outfielders
 #79 Washington pitchers
 #72 multi-player cards
 #71 Giants pitchers. Athletes looked a lot older back then. LeMay was 23 and looks 35; Sanchez was 28 and looks 21.
 #48 Yankees pitching stars
 #41 Reds rookie infielders.

  1. A First Baseman on a card called "Hot Corner Guardians"? As the kids say, I can't even. Just call it "Corner Guardians" and they'd have been fine.

    1. Saw that too. Overall though... I think Topps did a great job with trying to match things up with the 2011 Heritage set.
