Ted Martinez 1970 - 1975 Cardinals uniform

I got all excited when I found these, since Teddy/Cardinals is on the UIN list. Only problem is, after I got done, I discovered that pegasus27 had already posted an image from one of these shots, back in February. (Search the thread for "Martinez", and you'll find it.)

So, not to let work go to waste, but it's clearly less needed now.

(BTW, when were the Batters and Pitchers Packs last updated? My version doesn't have the Teodoro/Cardinales gap filled, at all. Likewise, the color version of Marty Martinez with the 1972 Cards also posted upthread, and the shot of Jose Martinez in the proper 1969/1970 Forbes Field Pirates uniform* aren't in my packs. Have I missed an update?)

(*-the version I have has Jose wearing a mustard-and-black Three Rivers Stadium Pirates batting helmet, but the Buccos didn't debut those uniforms until Three Rivers opened on July 16th, 1970, by which time Jose's ML career was over. So the image must be from an unsuccessful 1971 training camp bid; he only ever wore the sleeveless gold-and-blacks as a major leaguer.)

Anyway, heeeeere's Teddy, back at Big Shea to meet his ex-mates, the Mets. Available in Topps original, my corrected-exposure edit, 180x270 and 90x135 versions:

(Yes, it's taken me *this* long to realize that the reason so many Topps images are dark and red is not because of weird filters or anything, but because the photogs chronically under-exposed the film. Sheesh. [WRT both them and myself.])
