This is not a Dexter, but part of the 2015 large collection I've referenced a couple of times.

Topps did not get him during his second Phillies tour until midseason 1969, then shot him again in Yankees' camp in 1970. I'll never be certain why given all the images the company took of him with the Phils between 1957 and his trade to L.A. in 1961 that they didn't recycle one of them in the card sets of 1968 and 1969 (I mean, there's a shot of Chris Short in the 1969 set that was clearly taken at the Polo Grounds, dating it to no later than 1962).
