“ Photo cards... BOOOO! ” -carthage44

“ After doing several series of team-issued photos of inconsistent sizes in the late 60s and 1970, the Astros decided in 1971 to do a set of litho photocards of uniform size. Denis Menke, it might surprise some people to know, was the National League's best shortstop for a couple of years around this time. He was part of the big trade that sent Joe Morgan to Cincinnati and Lee May to Houston after this season. ” -Dave Sosidka

“ Can I please have some color. I know it is a postcard but really? The 70s and no color? ” -koloth42
