You all seem up for challenges, so here they are ... most of them were career minor leaguers who achieved a certain level that might have gotten them to the major league camp and in front of a Topps photographer.
Holy Grail:
***Bobby Gene Sanders (PHILLIES 1962-63) Broke color line in Chattanooga along with
Hank Allen (PHILLIES 1963) before dealt to WASH***
60s Chattanooga Lookouts players …
Angel Oliva (SENATORS/TWINS 56-61)
Mike Marshall (PHILLIES 1964-5) Played SS for Lookouts! Converted to P during season
Cal Emery (PHILLIES 1964)
Larry Daniels (PHILLIES 1963-64)
Bob Milo (PHILLIES 1962)

Welcome aboard Rico from a fellow Braves fan in Tennessee. I started following the Braves in 1970 in Nashville on WSM at the age of six and have been a loyal fan ever since. I suppose that your name is from the Beeg Boy, Rico Carty, one of my early favorites.
Here are a few from your list:
Curtis Moore (a second option to the one already posted by Merkle above - also from Topps Vault 1971) / an action shot of Denny McLain (from 1972 and Steve's Baseball Photography Page) / Al Santorini (1968 - alas only black & white) / Angel Hermoso (also only a black & white from 1967 or 1968) / Ken Smith (undated between 1981-83)
