One has to wonder what Mike Laga thinks of his 1987 Topps card. How many of those do you think he's signed over the years, asking himself, "Do I look pretty in pink?"

For a real wealth of air-brushed wonders, look no further the 1971 Topps high-number series. There are some real doozies in there! Jerry Robertson with the Mets and the A's Dick Williams stand out memory as being especially egregious. Jim Qualls. Gerry Janeski. Lee Maye. Gerry Nyman. Marv Staehle. As the late and great Pittsburgh Steelers announcer Myron Cope used to say, "Yoi and double-yoi!"

Those '71 you mention sure are something special. Williams looks pretty much radioactive.
