Apparently in the 1990's, there was a magazine that would create cards of contemporary baseball players in the format of older style Topps cards. Topps Football Doc

I know that '70 set inside out. Those were the first cards I ever collected, and I believe that those cards dominated my life that year. I got a horizontal Mets team picture with the "Worlds Champions" designation over the top in the very first pack I ever bought. Some way to start, huh? The '68 lettering on the mock Murray is off, too.
