The Topps 1960 Coaches Cards
Mock the artwork all you want - you're right. But if somebody hadn't decided to make those cards (which kids hated) Topps might have never photographed a coach.
In the archives I found no shots, for instance, of any coach on any 1957 team - even though Topps got virtually every player who passed through the Polo Grounds, Ebbets Field, and Yankee Stadium.
The first photos of coaches date to 1959 (a few) and Spring Training 1960 (all) and led to the Topps policy of basically photographing everybody in a uniform.
