“ Matty Alou (15 MLB seasons), brother of Felipe Alou (17 MLB season), brother of Jesus Alou (15 MLB seasons), uncle of Moises Alou (17 MLB seasons), uncle of Mel Rojas (10 MLB seasons), and uncle of Luis Rojas (Mets MGR 2020-2021). This baseball family lineage is probably only rivaled by the Boone family, and maybe eventually the Acuna family. Under new features, be sure to vote to be able to add family relationships to PIDs. ” -mrackar

“ Excellent. If it was a Topps card, they would have tilted the picture so his head is parallel with the card. ” -cjjt

Unusual size and card, almost like a polaroid.

Maybe Topps can release a new limited edition set that are actually Polaroids. The photographer would take the photo on the field with a Polaroid camera. As soon as the print is ejected from the camera, the photographer would write the player's name on the Polaroid print. Ship that print off to Topps for insertion into packs.
