*The cards pictured in base set do not exist. They are original mock up images. Lincecum, Pujols, Hamilton and Cano are all featured on other card designs.
Why even show those designs on the sheet to advertise the product, just stupid. I think the 54 style looks way better than the 1980 style they have.
I agree with you. Though Lincecum's hair fits with the 1980 card's era the look of the '54 is better. I have a few vintage Indians from that '54 set and they really stand out, both physically, (they were a little larger than today's cards) and visually.
You would think since the art department at Topps went to the trouble of making the mock ups for the ads they would just use those same images for the actual cards.
