The image Topps used on this card appears to have been from Kapp's college days at the University of California. It was at least 11 years old in 1969. Topps used the image at least 7 other times, the first being on his 1960 Topps CFL card. The original photo was black and white; Topps mistakenly colorized it green and used it over and over. California's colors are blue and gold.
