Harmon Killebrew 1972 Topps Baseball Card 51


Description

A color slide of a 1972 Topps baseball card of Harmon Killebrew. Card number 51 in the set depicts Killebrew posing with a baseball bat, taking a half swing. He is wearing a Minnesota Twins cap and a home uniform with blue sleeves. He is facing the camera and is pictured from the hips up. His head is tilted slightly to his right, and he is looking at the barrel of his bat, which is in the photo's foreground. The background of the upper two-thirds of the photo is a clear blue sky. He is shown in a batting cage on the dirt portion of a field, with a Twins teammate, number 8, bending over behind him to his left. Based on the timing of the photograph, that player was likely Paul Ratliff. The upper portion of the card has “TWINS” in a 3-D formation in black with orange accents, with blue and orange 3-D effects. The bottom portion of the card contains “HARMON KILLEBREW” in black type in an oval below the photograph.
