RANDOM QUICKIE: JIM BUNNING IN THE 1972 TOPP SET

Was looking through team cards of the 1970's and noticed that Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Bunning, a favorite topic of mine on this blog, appears on the 1972 Topps Philadelphia Phillies team card, even though his last player card was in the 1971 set.
Check out the card:


That's him in the back row, fourth player from the right, with the Phillie-red collar showing under his uniform.
I designed a "career-capper" 1972 card for him a while back and never thought to check this card to see if he was in the photo.
Glad I caught it this time around…
