Seems like in the early part of the decade Topps used a ton of pictures that look like they were shot from a far away perch.
Anyway, since I'm really enjoying coming up with my own take on cards I've always been disappointed with, I figured I'd recreate a Ryan card that had a nicer look to it.
First is the card as it was released, followed by my own version.
