What were they thinking?

I'm guessing back in the late 50's/early 60's, Topps only gave the photographers one roll of film at a time. How else do you explain pictures like this?




I know we are in the digital age now and photographers have immediate confirmation of the quality of their pictures. I take 50-100 pictures at my son's games and usually end of with 8-10 that are really nice shots worth keeping.


That said, how else do you explain Topps using this photograph for Cal's card? I can't imagine the photographer took 3 or 4 shots and this one was the best.

Do you know of any more examples of the "Eyes Wide Shut" look?
