Unseen Pics of Hall of Famers from The Topps Vault

Just when I think that Topps must have cleaned out their Vault by now of all the great photos they have in their archives, they continue to surprise me with fantastic shots of some of the all time greats that never made it on to cardboard.

Checking the current auctions, I came across these great photos:
















And even though he's not a Hall of Famer, I had to include this great shot of Roger Maris taken in Yankee Stadium when he played for the Indians:


I don't know how long Topps can keep finding treasures like these, but I hope they still have lots more pictures like this to offer.

    According to baseball-almanac Nolan Ryan wore #34 for the Mets in his debut year 1966 only. The credit of 1969 is wrong. This picture is a gold mine in mine opinion.

    The Aaron picture is probably no later than 1971 Spring Training. The Braves wore those "Southern Yankees" pinstriped uniforms from 1967-1970, and then changed to the ones with the feather on the arm (the style Aaron wore for #715) from 1971-1974.
