As you may remember, with Topps and the Players Union battling each other, Topps began using old images for players, sometimes reusing images from years prior for their cards in the late-60’s/early-70s.
This one is a great example, the original Ron Stone 1970, which clearly shows him in a Kansas City Athletics uniform from about 1966 when he made his MLB debut with 26 games:
Now, with time on our side I found this image of him in the correct uniform as a Phillies player, so here’s the new, updated version:
Stone would spend four of his five MLB seasons with the Phillies, finishing up with a career .241 average over 388 games, collecting 194 hits in 804 at-bats between 1966 and 1972, with 1967-68 spent entirely in the Minors.
