    Nice Herrera card!....Semproch does not show up often, especially in nice condition and centering.

    Anybody have a nice Eddie Mathew’s for sale? PSA 7 or 8

    After those four National League games, Gorman Thomas was never the same, and neither were the Brewers, and come to think of it neither was I.

    I just sent in a small batch of these that were from a cello pack break I did years ago. Looking at them from a regular perceptive, they looked fantastic. Getting the pre-grading scans back from PSA, so the in your face close-up, there are flaws that were surprising to me. From minor black print to some carboard toning and stains that came from I have to idea where. Saying that, some of the cards here are unbelievably nice and definitely appreciate the eye some of you guys got.

    Nice. My 8 is centered the same as your 9. I do have a dead centered six . (corners are a little weak on both of mine. )Rice looks like he would rather be anywhere but posing for that picture.

    Yes that was the card in question. Congrats. That was a recent bump? If so, it must really be a PSA 11! :)

    Copied From Wiki .........
    Thomson became a celebrity for his walk-off home run off Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca to win the 1951 National League pennant. The home run, nicknamed the "Shot Heard 'Round the World", was dramatic as, until 1969, league pennants were only decided by a playoff when the teams involved finished the regular season in a tie. Prior to 1951, playoffs had only been necessary in 1946 (NL) and 1948 (AL).[citation needed]

    Although in mid-August, the Giants were 13+1⁄2 games behind the league-leading Dodgers, they won 37 of their final 44 games to tie Brooklyn on the final day of the regular season, forcing a three-game playoff. The Giants won the first game 3–1 as a result of a two-run home run by Thomson (off Branca). Brooklyn's Clem Labine shut out the Giants in the second game, 10–0. The decisive contest, played on October 3 at the Polo Grounds, was the first major sporting event televised coast-to-coast in the United States.[5] The Dodgers took a 4–1 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning, but Giants shortstop Alvin Dark singled, advanced to third on a single by Don Mueller, and scored on a double by Whitey Lockman. With Lockman on second and pinch runner Clint Hartung at third, Thomson's walk-off home run turned looming defeat into a 5–4 victory. The moment was immortalized by Giants play-by-play announcer Russ Hodges's excited multiple repetitions: "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!"

    Great looking Thomson card ! ............................Robbie
