Dale only played part of one season in the bigs - not much to say.

goose3 · February 11, 2012 2:28AM

Sent this one to Bob myself.

Piggs · February 11, 2012 3:23AM

That Coogan is spot on centered Mike. Wow!

frankhardy · February 11, 2012 3:55AM

That is a gorgeous Coogan. I love the progress.

Red Schoendiesnt (#91) is reserved (signed and unsigned).

Piggs · February 11, 2012 3:57AM

Don't give Johnny any Lipon, he's ready for #90.

gemint · February 11, 2012 3:57AM

Piggs · February 11, 2012 3:59AM

We both posted at the same time Gemint. Too funny, but I will concede to your 8. You win. I'm going to Costco now. Let's get to 100 today guys. Doug

BasherBoy · February 11, 2012 4:19AM

have 92 ready

Dboneesq · February 11, 2012 4:23AM

HEY GUYS ... LET'S BE SURE TO PLEASE POST BOTH THE FRONT AND THE BACK OF THE CARD. THANKS!

Stone193 · February 11, 2012 4:24AM

<< HEY GUYS ... LET'S BE SURE TO PLEASE POST BOTH THE FRONT AND THE BACK OF THE CARD. THANKS! >>

Hi Doug - when I get a chance - I'll scan the backs and edit.

gemint · February 11, 2012 4:30AM

I've got #94 ready to go (my 8.5).

frankhardy · February 11, 2012 4:32AM

Where ya at, Mr Mickey Grasso?

Dboneesq · February 11, 2012 4:39AM

Thanks Mike. This will be a GREAT reference for the '52 set when it's complete. There is some great info on the backs of the cards.

On that note - why is the #80 so pricey?

edit: I would like to take #97.http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/stone193/tn_005.jpg?t=1328988932

Piggs · February 11, 2012 6:21AM

Not many players can say they have "captured by the Germans" on the back of their baseball card. Mickey Grasso can. #91 is next. Doug

frankhardy · February 11, 2012 6:27AM

Here is #91 Red Schoendienst (signed and unsigned). You know you are a vintage Cardinals collector when you can type and spell Schoendienst fast, without looking.

Reserving #100 Del Rice.

BasherBoy · February 11, 2012 6:31AM

gemint · February 11, 2012 6:45AM

I just looked it up and was shocked that Red Schoendienst is still alive and kicking at age 89!

frankhardy · February 11, 2012 6:51AM

<< I just looked it up and was shocked that Red Schoendienst is still alive and kicking at age 89! >>

Alive, kicking.....and still hitting!

Red still hitting at Spring Training

I didn't realize that John! Wow.

If you get halted, I can help with psychump on the reprint set. Keep it up.

gemint · February 11, 2012 7:33AM

<< If you get halted, I can help with psychump on the reprint set. Keep it up. >>

I've got 94 ready but I can't help with 93.

Piggs · February 11, 2012 7:42AM

Piggs · February 11, 2012 8:50AM

Killer card Gemint, absolute killer!

Stone193 · February 11, 2012 9:03AM

I'm heading out for dinner - it's my son's 29th birthday!

So will someone post this for me please:

I'll then delete it here.

Will get the backs on them ASAP!

Thanx Doug!

Piggs · February 11, 2012 9:11AM

Nice card Mike, I'm also going out but I've copied it if someone posts 96 I'll put it in when I get home. I've put a bunch of cards up today so I'll cool it for awhile and give other guys a chance. Quite the progress today.

Piggs · February 11, 2012 12:26PM

Willard Marshall had a heck of year in 1951, he played 136 games in right field and made zero errors, the second time in MLB history to be done. Didn't strikeout much either, only 18 K's in 469 plate appearances that year.

Piggs · February 11, 2012 12:32PM

Moving Mike's card of Earl down to the right spot.

Downtown1974 · February 11, 2012 12:39PM

Woohoo!!...almost a quarter of the set done!

Stone193 · February 11, 2012 1:41PM

Thanx again Doug.

John - the Mele card is incredible!

This is for the guys who are seriously doing the set - I asked this question but it's buried in all these great cards.

I like the color of card #80

After looking into ebay - I can't believe what a 7 will set ya back! Can anyone share why?

Mike I think the simple answer is centering. This card is either off center in every direction, diamond cut, you name it. I'd be curious to know where this card sat on the sheet when it came to cutting the cards. The thing is a bear to get centered. The one my wife got me (see card #80 on this thread) was one I had on my watch list for a long time, not for the overall condition which is probably in the 4 graded range, but for the centering. It is similar to the Billy Loes card in this set of which I saw a centered 7 sell a few weeks ago for $920, which was a straight up auction and not a BIN. I hope this helps. Doug

frankhardy · February 11, 2012 1:52PM

Well, we need #98 and #99 before I can post #100. I have got to go to bed. I'll check in the morning.

Dboneesq · February 11, 2012 10:51PM

Dboneesq · February 12, 2012 1:07AM

Well ... 2 hours by and no progress ... here is #99.

Dboneesq · February 12, 2012 1:08AM

Shane ask me to post #100 for him, since he was leaving for church earlier this morning. So, thanks to Shane, here is #100.

Piggs · February 12, 2012 3:10AM

Always thought Max looked like Burt Reynolds. Separated at birth?

Dboneesq · February 12, 2012 4:21AM

Max Lanier was also the father of Hal Lanier.

123Slider · February 12, 2012 5:00AM

This is a classic example of great color awful cut.

Stone193 · February 12, 2012 6:41AM

I have #104 and 105 - will post after someone throws in 103 - if that's OK?

edit: just checked and I have #107 also.

Manofmoe · February 12, 2012 7:23AM

Here is 103, you are up with the next two Stone.

Mike

Piggs · February 12, 2012 7:54AM

I have #106 ready to go.

Stone193 · February 12, 2012 8:00AM

BasherBoy · February 12, 2012 8:01AM

I'm really enjoying this thread

I think #120 is the next I have.

Stone193 · February 12, 2012 8:01AM

Piggs · February 12, 2012 8:11AM

12,098 putouts through 1951, ended his career with 19,819, wow!

Stone193 · February 12, 2012 8:23AM

frankhardy · February 12, 2012 8:31AM

I've been using both "Dougs" if I have been gone. Going to church again tonight. Hopefully, Doug will post number 111 for me.

Love this thread!

Dboneesq · February 12, 2012 10:26AM

Mr. Konstanty (#108) ... where are you???

Lets build a 1952 Topps set.
