Thanks for the Chris Bourjos post. I was looking for him and a number of 1980 era hard to find photos..

BTW, I agree with you regarding that 1971 Topps shoot at YS. They must have shot it using a large negative portrait camera or Kodachrome 25, which I used to use for portraits with controlled lighting. That one looks like it had an off camera strobe based on the angle of the shadow and the glistening off the top of the dugout. Some of those Topps shots were amazing. Cardboard just didn't do them justice.
