Tony Gonzalez 1960

That collection of '69 Spring Training shots has some doozies, including four original San Diego Padres of whom next to no color exists.

Tony Gonzalez got into 53 games in San Diego before being dealt to Atlanta, but I don't think Topps caught him in a Padre uniform (there are two other San Diego players in the 5th Series of 1969, Jose Arcia and Al Ferrara, and each is shown in a shot taken at Padre Spring Training '69). There's at least one typically shaky Brace of Gonzalez with the Padres, so this is a huge improvement.
