1952 pafko question

[tedzan]

The 1952 Topps 1st series (80 subjects) was printed on sheets of 100 cards. Their printing press track was wide enough to print 2 identical 100-card sheets.

Shown here is the lower 1/2 of this 100-card sheet (cards #51 - 80). Since the 1st series consists of 80 subjects, TOPPS Double-Printed (D-P) two rows in
order to fill out the sheet. Evident in this 1/2 sheet are the top row and the 3rd row D-P cards (#51 - 60).

I seem to have misplaced my picture of the top 1/2 of this 100-card sheet....but, I can tell you that the D-P cards on that sheet are cards #31 - 40.


Double-Prints in top row and 3rd row (cards #51 - 60)

Those sheets are great. Definitely post the top half if you find it!

Ps - Pafko is card in top left corner I assume?

I can't think of too many baseball cards that have pretty much been the central focus of the plot of a movie, like this one was for Cop Out..

I know, I know, it's not the reason it's expensive. BUT it does add to the card being one of those that transcends the hobby, and into the mainstream..

"Paul Hodges: What's with the box?

Jimmy Monroe: I gotta sell the Pafko.

Paul Hodges: I heard that. I know that's right... I'm lying. What's a Pafko?

Jimmy Monroe: It's a baseball card.

Paul Hodges: Jimmy, if you need twenty bucks...

Jimmy Monroe: A$$hole, I don't need twenty bucks."
