So, is the 1952 Bartirome guy crazy?

He is claiming he is buying up all of this card for family members so that everyone in Tony's family can have a copy, however,

Why is he not hording the 1953 Topps Tony Bartirome card? (As far as I know, poor Tony only had these two cards)

The whole thing is crazy to me.

Ironically, he explains it in post #52.

I know, Rich. I also looked and the only place/site that mentioned anything about was Wikipedia for some reason?
I haven't looked in a few days, but the last time I did, Wiki was still the only one for some odd reason?

Found one.
Nice Obit. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/pos...1277&fhid=5832

As far as I am concerned, this 1952 Topps Bartirome card has become like the 1952 Topps Andy Pafko card. Another overpriced, overhyped common. I need this card, but could care less if I ever get it. (Which means I will probably luck into it like the House / Yellow Tiger card!)

That's a great card to luck into!
I am hoping I luck into a Eddie Mathews someday myself.

Keep hoping...just like the gray backs. Many more people are now searching for them, and it just takes 2 bidders to make an auction!

I hear ya, Ted. Just to think, my Uncle had one, and many other 52 Topps cards but sold them at a card shop for peanuts years ago after I said to him I'd buy them, just let me know when you want to sell.

My Father ribs him occasionally what they now go for as he is also disappointed he didn't let me know.

C'est La Vie..........

Add me to the list of wanting the 52 Mathews, you guys can have all the other 52's I just want Eddie. I want one that has most of the card left and no major creases through his face. Centering, creases, missing chunk, writing on the card, rounded corners, and creases just add character to the card i want.
