Yes, very much so. The image you've posted with your question is the best of the lot. It's the 1970 YB image, desaturated and recolorized, or similar. The image Cheech posted is colorized. There are some decent B&W Foys, if you want to colorize, but there isn't much in genuine color. The '71 Dell stamp is likely the best color image in the wild, but those were poorly printed and you don't see scans of the originals posted anywhere. Even in B&W, Joe had a tendency to look goofy in his Mets days.
The Vault has given us a couple of good Senators images in the HZ folder (attached), but has otherwise been stingy on Foys. Non-Vault Red Sox images are out there, but there's little for KC or NY.
