Today at our monthly card show I picked up three hits to my 1939 Play Ball set and I "bundled" a couple of loose cards to complete a $15 transaction. The dealer did not know what this one card was (and neither did I). After purchase I texted one of my OBC buddies and find out its a 1954 Hunter Wieners Cardinals card, and I guess they are pretty tough to find (unlike OPC Deckles lol).

I don't know who the player is (not many images available) but it could be:

Solly Hemus?
Stu Miller?
Dick Schofield?
Sal Yvars?

THX! Larry

Looks like he played the 1954 year with the Cardinals, despite not getting a card on the Cardinals until 1955.

Interesting, he has zero cards from Topps during playing years; must have never signed a contract with them.

Comment on the PSA registry set containing it says "Bought from clean sweep auctions"
