1970 Topps booklets Bill Singer

 I always liked his nickname: The Singer Throwing Machine.

A reference here to the famous Avis ad campaign - We're Only #2, So We Try Harder, which debuted in 1962.
The Golden West just looks like big piles of hay.
I don't know who Jenkins and Gibson are in front of Singer. They sure don't look like Fergie and Bob. Maybe it's Geoff and Kirk.

    Roy Carlson just did a deep-dive into the 1970 booklets on Sports Collectors Daily. He mentions the Singer booklet a lot and he has the original artwork. It's pretty interesting. https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/more-stories-unfold-about-1970-topps-baseball-booklets/

    Very vivid colors for being 54 years old. Most of the comics I own from the 70's are yellowing.
