Today i mistakenly thought i saw a Jordan linchpins card, for quite cheap, i was suprised that is was actually the natural born thrillers!
The backgrounds are quite different in themselves, but from smallish thumbnail images, the blue/purple and that Jordan pose made it look like one another!
I guess more uprising is that the Natural Born Thrillers is a 1995/96 release under flair and the linchpins is a metal universe 1998/99 card (although i think skybox bought fleer or vice versa before the bankruptcy)
Who knows when the stock image might've been from? Or why where the so lazy to use an image from over 3 years ago?
Although there do seem to be some uncanny dissimilarities like the shoelace and his tongue seems to be protruding a bit in the natural born card (perhaps it was photoshopped out as that was a bad influence for the kids)
Anyone else recall reuse of stock photos?
Just thought this stood out as mildly interesting when i noticed it.
I just noticed that the stock Fleer retro is probably the worst offender here. I feel sorry for Karl Malone fans. Although these were the days of films (no digital cameras) so they have to be pretty stringent with the number of shots they could take
(i think alot of other "classic" players may have had it worse though)
