It seems kind of fitting that this post for a guy named Moses is getting published at a time when many people are in church.
Why this card is awesome: Because this is yet another Mariners card from this set where the player looks tentative and/or nervous. Topps screwed a few teams in this set, including the Phillies and the M's.
Cool stat: Moses is the 11th most-recent major leaguer to play at least 3 games in the outfield and 3 games at pitcher in his career.
I've often wondered how the card companies acquire player photos. Do they hire photographers and send them out to games? Do they hook up with free-lance guys? A little of both? For some sets I'm sure the photography is arranged (like Donruss Studio). I've seen the same photograph of a player used for multiple cards (sometimes cropped differently or processed so the lighting looks different) within a manufacturer. Topps does this quite a lot. I'm not sure if I've seen a photograph used by more than one manufacturer.
