This week's Weird Card Wednesday candidate is the 1970 Topps #76 Carl Taylor.
Two bad things happened to Carl on this card:
First, because he was traded by Pittsburgh after the 1969 season, he was relegated to a hatless head shot the following year while clearly wearing his Pirates jersey.
Second, on the day the Topps photographer came to spring training, Carl had the misfortune of a bad fever blister on his bottom lip.
It makes you wonder whether Topps ever gave a second glance to the photos they selected?
I thought for sure it was lipstick:
