So that's only a handful of games in which he played that they probably had a chance to get a photo of him in action. Also think about the cost of using different photos in that they would have to make separate printing plates for each photo which can be expensive.

I think the cost of packs and boxes more than covers four new printing plates.
And I work for a newspaper, they burn four new color plates for each color page in each paper each day.
I think you have a good point about the timeline, but we're only talking 10 different photos ... shoot one game, focusing only on Harper, and you should have 15 to 20 usable/decent shots to work with.

That's fine, but that's the Platinum picture. How about a different picture for the Topps Update card?
