1976 topps jim wynn - the card that should have been

maybe topps felt badly for jim wynn.  he was featured in the 1974 traded set, so maybe they didn't want him to have to go through that again in 1976.  what am i talking about? i am referring to the fact that the toy cannon was featured as a brave on his 1976 topps card.

this is despite the fact that he earned that all star star as a member of the dodgers.  also, dusty baker was left as a brave and given a traded card even though he was the main player the dodgers got in return for wynn. 

there are too few cards of wynn as a dodger, so i created the 1976 topps jim wynn card that should have been:
much better.

  3. The beauty of this card was that I didn't have to use any font. The blue bar with his name stayed the same and I just had to copy in the dodgers team bar and recolor the border and the hat.

  6. Nice! I like the faux airbrush effect. Much better than a Topps-brush.

    Keep it up!
