Lets build a 1952 Topps set.

HeadsUp38 · May 5, 2012 9:38AM

Figured it out.

Dboneesq · May 5, 2012 9:40AM

Thanks Heads-Up. The pics are quite small. Any chance of cropping the pic and sending a larger one?

psychump · May 7, 2012 10:16AM

He played in the NBL too!
Very nice cards!!!!

Foo3112 · May 7, 2012 10:19AM

When a set is being built, do reprints count? Kinda takes the fun out of this I think. Originals are what makes this fun and unique.

Anywho -This has to be one of the top 3 threads on the forum. Absolutely Brilliant. Keep it going guys! I want to see this set finished.

RipublicaninMass · May 7, 2012 10:23AM

k psychump, pull it down! Foo, tryin gto get everyone on board who has 52's to post them...Just shows how tough these high numbers are!

jeff8877 · May 7, 2012 10:32AM

Hi guys...back from a two week vacation. Here is the next one.

Jeff

Dboneesq · May 7, 2012 11:25AM

Nice cards guys.

BasherBoy · May 7, 2012 11:28AM

one more, then it's my turn...I've been waiting weeks!

RipublicaninMass · May 8, 2012 1:41AM

Wish I had Ken Heintzelman

psychump · May 10, 2012 2:01AM

Sorry to disappoint but another reprint. I think it's nice to see all the cards in the set, reprints or not.

BasherBoy · May 11, 2012 8:54PM

feel like it took forever to get to this card!

vettfanatic · May 11, 2012 11:54PM

I got one.

Dboneesq · May 12, 2012 12:20AM

Basher and Vett ... nice looking cards. Thanks for posting.

Basher ... you felt like you waited forever to post your card ... and 3 hours later VETT puts up the next one! LOL

RipublicaninMass · May 12, 2012 2:36AM

I got 366

psychump · May 14, 2012 1:43AM

363 and 364 are SWEET! He was one of Casey Stengel's "Nine Old Men" with Oakland of the Pacific Coast League in 1948.

RipublicaninMass · May 14, 2012 2:33AM

phew, found this in a dealers stack, overpaid for the common, but the sig and FRONT centering made the price worth it

jeff8877 · May 14, 2012 5:08AM

Great cards guys...here are a few more that I have that are next in line.

Jeff

BasherBoy · May 14, 2012 5:12AM

nice cards Jeff!

psychump · May 15, 2012 1:25AM

Wow! This card smells like gum! Did these come out in packs with gum?

psychump · May 18, 2012 5:54AM

40 years in the game. He was the Scouting Director for the New York Yankees from 1980 to 1984 and the director of player development from 1985 to 1988.

HeadsUp38 · May 18, 2012 7:44AM

Here's my Gil McDougald (the 1951 AL ROY); the guy that smashed the line drive and hit Herb Score in the face in '57.

psychump · May 21, 2012 2:02AM

Over a half century in baseball! What a rookie year for a 33 year old pitcher! Led the league in saves his last year of pitching then retired to become manager. Yankees pitching coach for over ten seasons. What a card to have!

We need Al to go back and scan all of those that are reprints in this thread. Al has the real things. Glad you figured out how to operate your scanner, Al!

BasherBoy · May 23, 2012 5:58AM

well shoot, if we are gonna shoot ahead that far then I'm gonna post my Sam Jones

If it's a problem, lmk and I'll pull it down.

bishop · May 23, 2012 7:39AM

Great card Basher

Griffins · May 23, 2012 8:40AM

Bishop the Bogart

Dboneesq · May 23, 2012 10:24AM

Nice cards guys! Always nice to see the original Hi #s.

Griffins · May 23, 2012 10:27AM

I've got a few extra things to add once we hit Eddie Mathews.

bishop · May 24, 2012 2:26AM

Anthony---you have one of those rare Topps 1952 Update Extension sets ?

I assume you then have the Hope/Crosby Road Card

BasherBoy · May 24, 2012 2:34AM

I need that Hope for my Indians team set!

Dboneesq · May 24, 2012 3:18AM

<< <i>I need that Hope for my Indians team set! >>

HAHA ... great response!

bishop · May 25, 2012 2:23AM

BasherBoy · May 25, 2012 3:07AM

I'd like to claim 399...that is my last Indian

psychump · May 29, 2012 4:45AM

Great cards!!!

Dboneesq · May 29, 2012 5:02AM

WOW. Only FOURTEEN cards left to go!

psychump · May 29, 2012 5:07AM

What's the over/under on reprints?

Dboneesq · May 29, 2012 5:10AM

<< <i>What's the over/under on reprints? >>

On the last 14 cards ... and don't take this personally ... but I hope it's 1 and it goes under! LOL

psychump · May 29, 2012 5:15AM

I don't. I hope someone has a nice Mathews! The reprints are just filler. I tried to add some cool info. I hope we do 1953 next (reprint free)!

Dboneesq · May 29, 2012 5:30AM

I'll wish you guys good luck with the 53s. I don't think I own one.

bishop · May 29, 2012 6:51AM

Batter up Basher

jeff8877 · May 29, 2012 6:58AM

Waiting for Basher to post his Indian...I have 400 through 407 so can post one or all if you guys wish.

Jeff

BasherBoy · May 29, 2012 6:58AM

First card I subbed myself.

EDIT:
thanks for humoring me and letting me post my Indian

jeff8877 · May 29, 2012 8:19AM

And now for the GRAND FINALE...if anyone has one of these feel free to post and I can delete mine. Think this was a great idea for a thread.

Jeff

BasherBoy · May 29, 2012 8:36AM

awesome finale!

Dboneesq · May 29, 2012 8:39AM

Now THAT'S an AWESOME way to end the set! Very nice Jeff. Do you have the entire set in "5"?

Edited to add: BIG THANKS TO DOWNTOWN FOR STARTING THIS THREAD!

TNP777 · May 29, 2012 8:40AM

that Mathews is gorgeous!

jeff8877 · May 29, 2012 8:49AM

Thanks guys...

I am working on this set and am about 80% complete on both low and high numbers. My low numbers are all 6/7s and most of my highs are 4 to 6s. I look for well centered cards and pick my spots by not overpaying. Have had a lot of luck with off line deals with various other collectors.

If anyone is working on this set, I have about 20 doubles to trade or sell.

Jeff

Griffins · May 29, 2012 9:14AM

Great job on the set!
a little extra piece for the set-
