I needed this for my set, and took advantage of the EBay $15 off $75 offer a couple weeks ago. I'm going to crack it out to go in the binder, but it was the nicest 4 I could find.

A couple of "first graded" examples I recently got back from PSA. Always on the lookout for more Country Cookin's!

From the '51 Season. No. 7 is Bill Cerv. Tough scan, and couldn't get all in picture, nor get size down to allowed very easy.

Great pic!

As you likely haven't seen this pic, being new here, here is a pic of my Great Uncle Same with Mickey Mantle and Dizzy Trout taken at the 1958 World Series.

My Uncle's Sams friend, Norm is closest to Mick and Dizzy Trout is the second guy.

Welcome to the site. Best one around, imo.

Dale, that's a marvelous treasure, bro. So happy for you to have that. I remember when you first posted it, and definitely am glad to see it again.

In 1971, a dear family friend gave me a black 'n white photo he received from his friend, Leo Best, who was a guest with his wife at the dinner table, where Yankees' owner Dan Topping, and some of his players, were dining. With the presence of Mr. Topping, I would surmise it was taken at the swanky hotel the Yanks stayed at during spring training.

Maybe I can try to load it up one day. Most people don't care for shots of players in their civilian clothes, but it's such a great conversation piece. I mean, there the guy is, seated at the table with his wife, conversing with Dan Topping. Around the table, smiling at the camera are:

Yogi Berra, Billy Martin, and Mickey Mantle. Billy is really smirking; no surprise there. There's another player I cannot identify. My friend was having trouble too; perhaps he was a reserve player. Which then makes for a good reason to load 'er up on Net54. We got some mid-50s Yankee fans who are great "EAGLE EYES". One or more of them could identify the man. We really have a lot of guys who truly enjoy being helpful.

Take care, Dale, have a happy new year, and some time please tell me about your 1952 Topps set building.

All the best, bro. ---Brian Powell

Happy New Year to you as well, Brian.

That would be a great pic to see, Brian. If you get the chance someday, please it up as I am sure I am not the only one who would enjoy seeing it.

This one just arrived a couple of days ago. A centered one to replace a card purchased earlier for my run. Matches the rest much better.
