Let's play...Name that Card!!!

Here's how it works, I'll post a sliver of a card and anyone can submit one guess per sliver. If no one gets the right answer after 5 guesses on the first sliver, I'll post a second easier chunk of the same card, then I'll post the full image (all are PSA-slabbed from my personal collection). Since they're my cards, they all will be Topps baseball HOFers from between 1956-1975.

I'll keep track of the leaders, and the winner will have the satisfaction of knowing that they beat the best and the brightest on the PSA boards (what, you expected to win one of my cards?!?)

Good luck and here's the first clue:

    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    That's right! Looks like two when you're looking at the barrels, but on is obscured over the other (there are clearly three when you look at the handles).

    I would say a 57 Topps Ted Williams, But his hands would be in the pic if it were that card.
