Baldschun/A's not released (yet). Tripped over it looking in the files years ago looking to see if they should him with the Padres in 1969, and if they had, why they instead went with a capless shot of him with the Reds from 1966 in the 1970 card set. The answer was, they had shot a lot of the Padres - Baldschun included - at Shea Stadium early in 1969 but the lighting and color were off. The art editor who had final call on what they published was far less interested in updated photography than he was in shadows and correct colors. Amazing.
