1959 Topps Football Cards as Baseball Cards

 Once again we see a hint of what's to come on Topps baseball cards from their football cards.  Specifically, I'm referring to the blue and red lettering on the player's name.  That same lettering would be used on the 1960 Topps baseball cards.  Here's a side by side comparison of a 1959 card of Hall of Fame Colts receiver Raymond Berry and the 1959 AL MVP Nellie Fox on the baseball version.  Nellie is looking particularly sweaty.  Perhaps he just swallowed his trademark cheek full of tobacco.
