This is the negative that was used to create the 1979 Clarence (Cito) Gaston card:
The negative shows how the Topps artist airbrushed the picture to turn Cito from a Brave into a Pirate for his 1979 card.
What I really like about the negative is that they didn't airbrush the whole picture - they just did enough so that it could be cropped at the shoulders to make it look like Cito was wearing a Pirates uniform, leaving a very interesting and unique looking Pirates/Braves jersey combination on the original negative.

Wow, JC, that's a great find! Though as an Oriole fan, it is my duty to point out that Cito sucks. ;)
And it is my duty as a Blue Jays fan to concur with Kevin that Cito does in fact suck.
you guys both suck, cito's the bomb suckas
Any Blue Jays fan that thinks Cito sucks is clearly not a real fan.
He'll forever go down in history as the only Jay manager to win a World Series, and he got 2!
(and yes, you heard me right, ONLY EVER)
