In reply to John.

Were they the same pictures? I definitely would be interested to know if there are sources directly linking Topps and the Wrigley souvenirs.

The reason Topps used the Floaty-Head design is that is what was sold at souvenir stands at Wrigley. I would get one every year.

Very interesting stuff. FYI, in the ’77 and ’78 photos, the black-rimmed glasses belong to Rick’s brother, Paul Reuschel.

There’s always room for insight, even if it’s a repeat!

1961 and 1962 have the exact same team photo!

You’re right! Same Cubs photo in 1961 & 1962, and then a different photo for 1963 that they also used in 1964 & 1965. “We’ll change the background, and no one will notice.”

Unless I am mistaken, Topps used two team photos twice in the early/mid sixties. I’d sure like to know what they were thinking all of those years. Fun piece.
