Not saying its the case with Harry Chiti, here, but its worth remembering that the bulk of Topps Vault pics were taken during Spring Training when teams would routinely don the togs of the previous season, choosing to save the unveiling of the new for Opening Day. I don't recognize the scoreboard behind Harry, but that sure doesn't look like the Detroit skyline.
