You might recognize the photo from Beardy's 2010 Masterpieces set:
I requested that card because up until that point I had been too lazy to create my own card. I unlazied myself and got to working. It may seem tacky to reuse the same image on two cards like that, but this is only the second picture of Jim in a Braves uniform I've ever seen. The other is on the Ball Four plus Ball Five cover that was published in 1980. There's got to be some more pics of him out there somewhere, right?
Bonus quiz: Can anyone guess which '79 Topps card I used as the base for my custom?

Dave Campbell, of course.
speaking of which, did you get that package I sent not too long ago?
I'm gonna say Barry Bonnell.
Dale Murphy. Bad guess prolly, especially without going to check my 1979 set. Murphy was action photo swangin' in his '79 right?
Bob Horner? His card seems to match the background edges of yours. I'll keep looking.
