I was amazed at his response. He told me that he was the artist who created these images for the TOPPS Co. back in 1952. And, the cards he selected were the ones he did.
Gerry gave me his business card, so we kept in touch for many years. Plus, I contacted several BB card Show promoters. They invited Gerry to be a guest signer at their Shows
during the 1980's. There is more I could tell you, but I will leave it at that.
