Check out the awesome airbrush work on the Yankees hat that Mike Wallace is sporting on this 1975 Topps Mini. I got this and three other cards signed TTM by Wallace recently, and just now realized that the two photos used on the cards are airbrused. Pretty obvious ones, at that.
The airbrushing of older Topps cards is an interesting thing to catch, if you are able to do so. There are some really good ones and some that are so bad they're good.
Wallace (b. 1951) is from Gastonia, NC. He played in the majors from 1973 to 1977 for the Phillies, Yankees, Cardinals and Rangers. He had a record of 11-3 with 105 strike outs and a 3.91 ERA.
I mailed to Wallace on January 31 and got the cards back on February 9, for a 9-day TAT.
