Cards That Never Were: Mike Squires Oddities

Cards That Never Were is a recurring series in which I create virtual cards for players missed in various sets over the years. It is a concept I have borrowed from far too many to list, but I appreciate all of them. You can find more of my creations and a lot of other great creations (and not just baseball cards) in the Custom Baseball Cards group on Facebook.
I have written about Mike Squires and have featured card creations featuring him many times. The former first baseman was my favorite player during his fine career. Squires played for the Whote Sox in 1975 and '77-85. He won the Gold Glove in 1981.
The versatile Squires became the first left-handed catcher in many years, when he appeared behind the plate for two games in 1980. I have been searching for a decent picture of him catching, but have come up empty. I recently saw this picture and, while it is not a real picture of him catching, it is close enough to make a 1981 Topps variation card for Squires

While we are looking at variations, Lynn from the aforementioned FB group began posting baseball players featured on 1985 Topps football cards. I requested a Squires version and Lynn complied very quickly. The '85 football cards are possibly my favorite set. Now my favorite player is featured on my favorite set from another sport.
