Why this card is awesome: Because I never noticed airbrushed cards until Ben Henry pointed it out, but holy crap, this card is totally airbrushed. He must have been in a Cardinals uniform when they took the photo.
Cool stat: Landrum was not a good offensive player. In his entire career, spanning more than 600 games, he had only 2 games in which he got on base more than 3 times.

He wasn't a good offensive player, no...and yet Tito hit the 10th inning home run that broke a scoreless tie and sent the 1983 Orioles to the World Series. Baseball is a funny game.
Even his face looks airbrushed.
such
bad
airbrushing
so bad it's classic
Even more sad: the hair is real.
He might also have been in a 1999 turn ahead the clock uniform -- look at that silvery jersey!
Didn't Landrum have a modeling career on the side? I think he wore a mouthguard when he played for that reason.
