    I have a very rough one but I'll wait a while and see if anyone have a better one.
    The best pitch to start a hitter off with is always strike one.

    Rough is exceptable Slider, go for it.

    EDITED TO ADD:Sid pitched in the Big Leagues for TWELVE years. He was 17-16 in his Rookie year and never again had a winning record in any of the next ELEVEN Seasons.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Keep up the good work, I'll be in again hopefully at either # 64 or 69
  • PiggsPiggs Posts: 1,946 ✭✭✭✭
    Here's Tookie, he didn't even play in the majors in '52, only two years 1950 and '53 and ended up with only 98 hits. Died of a heart attack at the age of 38 while at the wheel of his car. I wonder how rare his autograph is? Now it's you 62. Doug

    Just got home from work, here is #64 Roy "Squirrel" Sievers. This one is heading off to PSA soon, even though it will probably only grade around a 3

    I missed out on my signed and unsigned Chambers, but that PSA 8 is a beauty!

    I'll take #76 Eddie Stanky and #79 Gerald Staley (signed and unsigned).

    I guess if you look at the backs of these cards you will find some errors. Many are "who care" errors, but fun nonetheless to look for.

    Here, the spelling of his hometown is incorrect. They spell it "Poughkeepsle" instead of "Poughkeepsie".

    You guys have been kicking arse today nice work. Love the signed cards Doug and good to see new blood Mdube16, great. Shane and Basherboy have been on top of it also, and everyone else who have shown their cards, nice. The power of this set is really shining through and how popular it is. I had no idea so many guys on this board loves the '52 set. Why should I be surprised right? Sorry about the fuzzy scan of the back I have a bad scanner for graded cards. 78 is great 79 is fine, let's see it. Doug

    My wife got this card for me last Christmas. Look on Ebay for this card and see how hard it is to find one centered. 81 is next. Doug

    If you look closely there is a dot on the "i" not an l. Still waiting on Yogi and hoping I won't use my 80's reprint for real!

    Nope ... don't believe it is. Just looked at the actual card with a loupe. Looks like an "L".

    In 9 seasons Duane had 391 walks compared to 305 strikeouts. That's not very good is it? He did play for the Browns for four years so maybe he was one of their best. #83 you're next. Doug

    IMO - this is no common with 247 HRs, life-time BA .286 and in 15 seasons - a 7 time AS!

    BTW - can I have 87 please?

    '52 Topps was funny that way, they had regular backgrounds for most but strange colored one's like Kuzava and others. Then the strange multi-colored like #80 Wehmeier and I believe Sain had the same background. Doug
