The '64 Agee's a DIY I found on the web. I think that the Agee photo is one of those unused Topps' archives deals that was sold off. The two photos at the bottom of the original post are also Topps Archives photos (Ron Taylor '62 and Warren Spahn '73, pitching coach)

Keith looking like he'd rather have a root canal than wear an Indians uniform.

One more Boy of Indian Summer from the Topps Archives. No Indian baseball card of this player exists. If you can identify him, or figure out why his crotch is all wet, you can win this cyber photo of either Chief Noc-A-Homa or a Braves bobblehead.

That's right! It's Harry Chiti, the human punchline to a team that was mostly, nothing but punchlines. There's a Zvon project in that photo. Zvon could photoshop a Met uniform onto Chiti, and then make up a fantasy baseball card with a split screen effect, using both Chiti images to highlight the odd Mets/Indians trade.



Chiti never played a single game for the Tribe. His career was effectively over once the Mets returned him to Cleveland. Keith Hernandez might sympathize.

Turns out that the '64 Agee DIY wasn't from a Topps unused photo, as I speculated. Whoever photoshopped Agee's card put a lot of time and effort into the work.
