These card companies these days keep using the same picture over and over

LOL.
I read the title, assumed current cards, and was ready to counter Lance with how Topps used to reuse photos in the '50s, like how many cards in the '54, '55 and '56 sets have the same picture.
But Lance pulled the ol' switcheroo with the tobacco cards. Well played.

Yup, 100+ years later still the same crap. You'd think Caramel and Sport Life would have accessed the Getty Image database and picked from the 1000s on file. Lazy.

I believe it was Ray Boone that pointed this fact out to me when I was a kid...

Topps keeps recycling the same Andre Dawson photos also while the Topps Vault sells off photos that were never used on cards.

You are totally right! Some of the Vault photos would make great cards too. Kinda sad.

It's real bad. This was just a quick grab off the desk. I am sure I am missing more:

They have auctioned off some very nice Dawson photos in an Expo uniform, why they never used them or don't use them today, I guess I will never know.
