So in the 2012 Archives product Topps included 9 Jose Oquendo autos--1 for every position that he played.
3 of the 9 seem to be SSP--Pitcher 6 have been listed, SS 5 have been listed, and 2B 6 have been listed; others are appox 2x move available.
While great concept the images Topps selected are less than informative to the position the card refers.
-Pitcher card shows him playing 1B
-1B card shows him playing middle IF
-3B card shows him playing middle IF
-C card shows him playing middle IF
I get it that he played the majority of his career up the middle but the 1B above is just poor. There had to be images of him playing these other position.....I mean come on it was a side show of sorts when he played elsewhere. At least for the OF positions they selected images of Jose hitting, running, or on base. For those interested, the back of the cards are all identical with the exception of the position designation.
