Wakey Wakey, Picture Takey!

Did you know that the card companies sometimes hired photographers from the DMV to take pictures for sports cards? As you can see from these examples, it’s true. Those DMV folks are experts at catching people with their eyes closed. At least driver’s licenses expire after a few years. People keep sports cards forever!
So, who are our sleepy players, and what cards do they appear on? From the top, we have:
- 1950 Bowman Bob Kelly, of the original Baltimore Colts (also see Baltimore Colts in Green?)
- 1951 Bowman Al Derogatis
- 1967 Topps Babe Parilli
- 1969 Topps Don Maynard (Maynard is also sleepy on his 1967 Topps and 1968 Topps cards)
- 1970 Topps Mike Tilleman
- 1971 Topps Gerry Philbin
I am undoubtedly missing some. If you know ’em, post ’em!
