People never believe me when I tell them that this guy was a real player in the major leagues.

Hey, I wasn't at any White Sox games in '81.

My first thought was, hey, that's not an '81 card! But then I thought, yeah, I guess pictures for '82 cards would have been made in '81. So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you know your stuff. =)

Once in a blue moon, they go earlier than previous season, but mostly, they go with those shots.

Of course, this is a far cry from when they'd paint portraits of the players (I had Gerry Dvorak, who painted the '53 Topps set, as an art teacher briefly...).
