1953 Topps artists
I sold my complete set, so excuse me for showing these 1953 reprints....but, there is a great story to go with them.
I was set-up at a BB card show in 1981 and a tall, mature looking gentleman came to my table and selected certain 1953T cards from my album. When he payed for the 12 - 1953T cards, I asked him why he selected those particular ones ? He responded with...."I did the artwork for them". Gerry Dvorak was one of several professional artists that Topps contracted to draw the 1953T cards. Gerry and I became great friends over the years. Also, next time you are dining at Mickey Mantle's restaurant in NYC, check out the paintings on the walls....Gerry did many of them. For an excellent story on Gerry Dvorak, check out the VCBC magazine, Issue #21 (pages 14-15). Shown here are 8 of about 50 cards that Gerry did the artwork for Topps. ![[linked image]](http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/a53tjerrydvorak.jpg) TED Z Last edited by tedzan; 12-20-2010 at 09:05 AM.
