Braces ?

[porkchops]

If I'm not mistaken,looks as if Tom has braces on his teeth.
Wonder if this card is the only one that features a picture of
an athelete wearing them?
If you have a youngster that is currently wearing braces and
hates them,maybe seeing this card will make him/her feel alittle
better.

I don't see it either. Looks to me like light reflection on his less than pearly whites.

He's got a similar smile on his 88 Topps RC. But regardless of whether or not these are actually braces, there are cards that show players with braces.

I believe one of Gary Sheffield's early cards had him pictured with braces. I want to say his Topps RC, but not sure.

I think that's more of a grille than braces. He's got his initials on them. Joe Girardi has braces at the moment.

yea it could be iffy that he has braces on, ,but really thats not the point is it? i agree kinds have self esteem issues when they get braces, and its a good thing to point out some of the big name players have or have had them too.
