#46 - Fritz Peterson A very happy looking Fritz is posing with the scoreboard of old Yankee Stadium in the background.
#47 - Paul Popovich This card is the first of two on the page that had corrected errors. Popovich is shown in a Cubs uniform and in the first card they didn't do a good job of airbrushing out the C on the hat. If you look closely, the outline of the C is still visible. In the corrected card, Topps made the airbrushed area much darker. It was all a waste of time because Popovich was reacquired by the Cubs during the 1969 season and would spend the next several as their utility infielder.
#48 - Brant Alyea He is wearing a uniform the Senators last worn in 1967.
#49 - Royals Rookies This is the second corrected card. The original card spelled the last name of Ellie Rodriguez wrong, with a "q" instead of a "g". The error was later fixed.
#50 Roberto Clemente I couldn't bring myself to type in "Bob" like the card says. Shows you how different times were, that the great Clemente's name was Anglicized. This is one of my favorite non-Cub cards in the set. He looks so dignified, so classy.
#51 - Woody Fryman Woody's got some pretty deep baby blue eyes. He is hatless and wearing a Pirates uniform, even though he spent the entire 1968 season with the Phillies. Woody later pitched half a season for the Cubs in 1978.
#52 - Mike Andrews This is a decent looking card of Andrews at Yankee Stadium.
