Been there but never went in the building... :(

2 nice looking 6's, Tom. I meant to ask earlier this morning what is wrong with your Young card to only get a 6?
Looks minty in your scan? :confused:

Thanks Dale!

The only thing that I can see on the Young card is that there is a very small area (2mm x 1mm) at the upper left corner where the white ink border is chipped away and is exposing the cardboard underneath - that could be the cause.

My Dick. Uh, wait ... no ... :D

I wonder what he was looking at up there. Maybe Superman, he showed up in 1952

Here is my card for today, when it was still in its SGC holder. It's in a stack of other cards ready to go to PSA whenever they start accepting submissions again... :confused:

Friday is Ted Beard day. It's also the start of the first Philly Show in over a year. Can't wait to get there this afternoon.

Nice!
Similar story here. We are finally allowed in our summer park/campground where I don't have to stay less than 24 hrs or 14 days in a row. I can come and go like normal and don't have to wait 14 days until I am allowed to return if I did leave.
This will be my first trip up there this spring/summer so I know I will have lots to do but it always worth it. :)

Happy Cramer Theodore Beard Day!! :)

My COTD. Kind of cool that Babe Ruth is mentioned on the back of this card. Happy weekend all.

Thanks. Glad to see I can learn about more than just cards on this site.

Just got back from setting up at the Philly Show.

So, here is my "post, post" of Wally Post :)

A rare Gray back at that.

Thanks Jay. :)

Truthfully, I'd trade for ice and snow right now as our park, and a lot of areas in Ontario North, are currently being ravaged by gypsy moths.
The damage to our trees throughout the park and surrounding areas seems surreal.
Whole trees are completely stripped bare in places now and my gut tells me likely these trees won't survive this? We are also currently dealing with dry conditions which isn't helping the trees either. :(https://kawarthanow.com/2020/07/29/h...the-kawarthas/

Anyways, sorry for taking this thread off topic.
Here are my cards for Saturday and Sunday.

My Bob Rush. Not sure how I ended up with a card this well centered in my set.

And my Mr. Rush for today.

Bob really turned it around in 1952. After a 39-61 3.87 record through '51, he went 17-13 2.74 and made the all-star team. Here's my Bob...

I can finally play along with this thread now that I have jumped in the 52 Topps pool! Woohoo!

My first contribution...my very OC VG red backed Joe Muir #154 -

Oooh, two gray backs for today. Nice!

And my Frank Overmire for today.

Excited I can still participate...NOT a gray back...lol...my Hiller

My cards for yesterday and today.

Eddie Waitkus, who had the misfortune of being shot by a "crazed girl".
I believe, IIRC, this event was used as part of the theme in the movie "The Natural" with Robert Redford.

Eddie "I was shot by a crazed girl" Waitkus

Eddie Waitkus - another of the first 1952 Topps cards I bought when I was working on Phillies team sets

Eddie never got to see the movie.

If I had to get shot I would rather have been shot by Barbara Hershey than Ruth Anne Steinhagen

A very tough card to find centered. I was outbid on a very nice centered one a couple/few weeks ago that I regret not bidding higher on. It was likely the best centered one I have seen to date. :(

Anyways, here's my Saul.

I am early on this one but leaving for Park City early tomorrow to get out of the Texas heat. Owen is another example of a player on a 52 card who did not play in the majors in 52, although in his case it was due to military service. I wanted to post it because of the eye a peel of the 3d card :) Just a registration miscue

My Owen Friend.
A little better eye appeal than Al's, but that is a neat card.
