Dick Fowler for today

Ray Coleman for today.

Guys, I was out of town over the weekend so am posting these under Dale's Rule.

Johnny Hopp #214 just keeping his head above water.

Nice looking cards folks! Here is my card for today.

Here's Hopp for yesterday. I haven't scanned Bauer for today or the upcoming guys yet. May be able to play catch up in a couple of days.

Hank Bauer, the original Mr. October.

Richie Ashburn, one of the Phillies best players ever

Bob, every time I see the latest in your never-ending string of high-end '52s, I'm floored.

Do you have the keys in this kind of condition too??

Bob, don't answer (although I think I know what it is). Let it be a daily surprise for everyone. :)

Bauer and Ashburn to get me caught up.

Well, I’ve already posted George Zuverink, and he was featured in a book with Hank Aaron that I read as a kid, so he must be the key to this set. If I remember correctly, the book was entitled “From Aaron to Zuverink.” Quite the page turner. :rolleyes:

I was reading through another thread, talking about how hard it was to get certain players to sign, to complete a set, and it started to make me wonder about the 52 set. Who from this one, was the most difficult? I would think Campanella partially due to his condition. I'm sure many will chime in with an answer.

My George for today.

Apologies for posting 2 out of order, but I will be in Montana for a time with limited internet access.

Shantz is not listed in the H& S Super Set but can be found with a recurring red blob in lower left front border. Many cards can be found with remnants of it. Even my cleanest version has a trace of it. Was there and intervention to remove or reduce the defect, or did it just peter out. I have not idea. Does anyone have a completely clean version ?

The Super Set does list Baumholtz as having a tan or brown background. This was the best contrast I could find. Not much. Maybe someone has a better contrast

Clyde with a crease.

Here is my Clyde for today.
