About Don Landrum
Landrum's 1963 Topps card, #113 in the set's second series, is the one Cubs collectors chase for the wrong reason: the photograph is not Landrum at all, but teammate Ron Santo. The card followed far and away his best year at the plate. Splitting 1962 between St. Louis and Chicago, he batted a combined .286 with a .370 on-base percentage over 115 games and 273 at-bats, lining up most often in center field with stretches in both corners. He stayed busy in 1963 too, 84 games and a .242 average for a Cubs team that posted its first winning record since 1946.
Donald Leroy Landrum was born February 16, 1936, in Santa Rosa, California, and attended Mount Diablo High School in Concord. A left-handed hitter who threw right-handed, he stood 6 feet tall at 180 pounds and signed with the Philadelphia Phillies as an amateur free agent in June 1954. Landrum debuted on September 28, 1957, starting both ends of a season-ending pair in center field for the Phillies, then did not surface in the majors again until 1960. Philadelphia traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals in September 1960, and he logged just 73 games and a .227 average across three Cardinals seasons before a June 1962 deal sent him to the Chicago Cubs. He is best remembered in Chicago, where he was the club's regular center fielder in 1965. That December the Cubs dealt him to the San Francisco Giants, and he played his last big-league game on July 21, 1966. Over eight seasons Landrum hit .234 with 12 home runs and 75 RBI in 456 games. He later worked in businesses in East Contra Costa County and died at his home in Pittsburg, California, on January 9, 2003, at age 66.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1963 Topps #113 card?
It is card #113 of the 576-card 1963 Topps Baseball set, picturing Don Landrum of the Chicago Cubs.
Is the photo on #113 really Don Landrum?
No. The card is Landrum's, but the photograph shows his Cubs teammate Ron Santo, who has his own card at #252. Topps never corrected it, so every copy of #113 carries the wrong picture.
Does 1963 Topps #113 have an error?
The photo is actually Ron Santo. It was never corrected, so there is no variation to chase - every copy of #113 reads the same way.

576 cards, tracked as 583 collectible states.
