The next OPC to Topps image variation we cover here on the blog is
that of Larry Hisle and his 1977 cards, which is really just a cropping
change:

As you can see, OPC decided to zoom in
on the image Topps used for their 1977 card, just as we have seen with
other cards that year.
Nothing big, but different nonetheless.
For posed shots like these I actually prefer the zoomed in OPC cards since there's no need to be backed up for such photo.
As for the man Hisle himself, had some productive years with the Twins, even leading the American
League in runs batted in in 1977 with 119, and driving in another 115 in
1978 as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.
But that 1978 season would be his last solid year, as he'd scratch
out another four years with Milwaukee, never appearing in more than 27
games in any of those seasons due to injuries.
He'd retire after 1982 with 166 lifetime homers, 674 R.B.I.'s, and 1146 career hits.
