Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>That Vern Bickford is awesome-looks like he just swallowed his chaw! I like the twilight look it has as well.

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>Thanks for posting these team galleries, Roger. Thye bring back a lot of great childhood memories. I've always had an affinity for the Hartsfield card . . . liked the power swing and the stadium backdrop. Bickford is a close second and Torgerson is right up there, even though as a kid I never owned nor inherited a '52B Torgy from my older brothers or their friends.<br><br>Bob Lemke

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>Bob- Do you think the background on Jones is the Polo Grounds or Braves Field?<br><br>Hartsfield is a also a killer card, I almost picked him.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Look at the heads on Spahn and Surkont. Can these two guys really be members of the same species?

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p> . . . it was Braves Field, what with the uniform seemingly depicting the home whites.

Posted By: <b>bobw</b><p>Here is the photo used for the Sheldon Jones card. It was taken in the Polo Grounds. He was originally a Giant and they painted a Braves uniform on him.<br><br><img src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o186/bobw_photos/Jones.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Bob Manning</b><p>Surkont and Sid Gordon look like that because they're both headed for the Pirates.

Posted By: <b>Michael Steele</b><p>Well the whole team looks like they are headed out of Boston soon <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">. I also like the Bickford as that is one unusual looking card.
