Just For The Record
The aforementioned Kucek 1977 pose (shot in April, 1976) without - you know - all that messy card stuff and bad printing and the like.
(Off topic, relating to the airbrushed images posted above, this emphasizes a point I made a while back. We mock the work of Topps commercial artists of the '70s - but they were doing this on acetate negatives, none bigger than 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" and some closer to 2" x 2," while hunched over a light board with nothing to rely on but a couple of rulers and the sureness of their hand. In that context, it's pretty impressive, like guys who can paint all the presidents on a loaf of bread or something).
