I don't have the '71 Boots, but I wanted to build a complete run of Topps, one card from each set, and I selected the Boots card from the '72 set.
I didn't pull out the box of cards that has it, but my father gave me some old cards when I first got into collecting. One of them (I'm pretty sure) was the 1960 Al Stieglitz rookie card that you talked about: https://substack.com/home/post/p-157679827
That “W” on Cookie’s jersey. Now THAT’S a logo!
Reminds me of my dad’s letter jacket from about the same time. He went to a “W” school, too.

Nice jumpstart from Dad! That’s great.
