Since this set is from the classic 1962 Topps set, it features a lot of classic baseball card poses. I've arranged all the cards I have into groups according to pose or type of card. These colleges were made using Google's Picassa. Click on any of the images to see a larger version.
First we have the classic batting stance pose.
There were a smaller number of cards featuring posed swings.
Then you have your classic pitcher poses, except none of them feature a posed delivery.
I love team photo cards. I haven't figured out why the White Sox card has a red background. The Leaders cards are color coded by league but apparently not the team cards.
The World Series cards seem to only feature Giants. I know they won, but weren't there two teams playing?
I like the Sporting News All-Star cards. These seem to be color coded by league as well, at least the only AL player name is on a red background vs blue for the NL players. The Brian McCann cards is the only card in the set that I have which features a player in a batting helmet.
The In Action cards are nice as well.
Floating Heads!
There are a bunch of cards I lumped into Miscellaneous Poses. These mostly consist of guys just standing around. Most of the manager cards feature this pose. We have a couple of kneeling on one knee and two catchers in equipment.
The Dynamic Duo (my phrase) cards. I wonder why they put the name plate running up the side of one card.
There were a lot of cards featuring bats on shoulders, so I split them depending on which shoulder the bat was. This pose can easily turn into the batting stance pose. I mainly differentiated them depending on if the bat was resting on the shoulder.
The Babe Ruth Specials are nice. I pulled most of them.
The most popular pose is the head and shoulders shot. There are so many of these I had to split them up somehow. The cards are split by division and arranged within division by 2010 finishing position in the division. I pulled roughly the same number of cards in each division except for the AL West. There are about twice as many cards featuring men with hats as men without.
