Wolves Hiding in Sheeps' Clothing -- 1969 Topps Style

Wolves of '68: Another close call on Davis. If he's wearing road gray, the lack of piping puts him in a Dodgers jersey. If he's in home white, and you believe the jersey is pinstripe-less, then he's also wearing a Dodgers jersey. You gotta believe Davis is in pinstripes for him to be a Wolf of '68.

Wolves of '66: OE -- Kroll's wearing a Phillie top, as evidenced by his horizontal shoulder pinstripes. Same for Smith/White Sox.

The Original Met Wolves:

Wolves of '74: None. Unless Topps whited out Agee's pinstripes ala Strom '73, and painted in collar stripes: OE -- Nah. That's an Astro collar, which Topps wouldn't have drawn in on a Dodger card. So, no Wolves of '74. Maybe this thread'll inspire our custom card-makers to thrown down their own Wolves in Sheep's Clothing creations. Something like an Ike Davis in a '72 Pirate template in a Met home pinstriped uni cropped around the jersey wordmark with a cap/helmet painted yellow and an ugly Pittsburgh "P" drawn on.

Wolves of '75: Topps now routinely whitewashes elements of the old jersey -- thus, removing most traces of the sheeps' clothing. You make the call on Strom. Did Topps whitewash a Met or Indian jersey?

[url]http://metsguyinmichigan.blogspot.com/2010/01/solving-mystery-of-horrific-hostess.html Great read, thanks. Grimms Rusty is one of my top 3 fav fake cards. So for the Ike, a badly drawn Pirate hat and jersey...-no wait, Ike in Pirate hat and puffy shirt?

Those horizontal shoulder stripes puts Jack in a White Sox uniform, Jack's other '67 team.
