The 1970 set was pretty easy. There are 24 Cubs cards in the set. Most, 20, were taken in one location, Shea Stadium.
Shea has several distinctive features... the cantilevered decks, the green outfield fence, the scoreboard, the outfield light towers.
Spring training shots are pretty easy too, since the grandstands at Arizona parks back then looked like high school stadiums.
There are two cards that don't give enough info to make a determination.
I think you'd have to say the Popovich photo is form the same series as his 1967 rookie card. Durocher and Spangler are older shots, too. Beckert's and Rudolph's I would bet were both spring training shots based on the uniforms and Rudolph's status when those uniforms were worn.
ReplyDeleteHundley's is older too. Makes sense that an old picture of Popovich was used since he was reacquired during the '69 season. Durocher's cards from '68-71 all seem to be from the same photo shoot.
DeleteSince Callison's card is capless, it's a good bet he was with the Phillies at photo time. And since those don't appear to be red pinstripes, it's an away game. Which brings us back to... Shea! (most likely)
