I'm surprised that the Pilots team picture is considered a novelty; Bouton's had the black & white version in the back of Ball Four for generations, and I wouldn't have thought the color version was hard to find.
Bouton: "You may notice that most of the faces are in shadow. This is because a cameraman with lights cost extra. You may also notice that the manager and coaches are seated left of center. We even had trouble taking pictures."
