Was this common knowledge? Never knew it until I just read a "readers write" letter sent by him to Baseball Card magazine in 1991.
In the letter he stated that nearly all the photos came from a former Chicago dealer and photographer and about twenty others (mostly taken Toronto) were taken by photographer who did international league photographs in the 60s and 70s.
Keith said that about a dozen were team issued and he also did a dozen including
The last card was Keith's worst and wasn't initially used because the first version actually pictured Bob Forsch.
When Donruss realized the error, they called Olbermann asking for a photo of Ruhle and Keith said he has one but the flash failed it's shadowy.
"Is it better than our Charboneau?" Asked Donruss and Olbermann replied "barely."
Just send it anyway Donruss replied, and he did.
Another tid bit he mentioned was that Mike Aronstein, a "forgotten hobby prophet" who invented nine pockets, albums, mass produced 8x10 photos, collectors issues plus reprints and minor league cards, referred Keith, Bill Madden and others to work on this inaugural issue.
