Default John(Jack) Merson cards anyone?

Brad,

I noticed on the back of his '52 card that he was just 16 when he was signed by the Senators, which seems remarkably young to be playing pro ball. I looked him up in the Baseball Encyclopedia and he's listed as being two years older. Either way, it looks like he was a solid .300 hitter in the minors. Too bad his only high-numbered Topps card just happens to be one of the toughest-to-find national issues in the post WWII era ...
