He would pitch to us, give us advice on how to play the game, plus tell us stories about any Ballplayers, which we would ask him about.
It was a tremendous joy to have Phil with us.

You're a day early with Phil. Don't forget about Mr. Rosen.

My copy. Love the red background.

The PSA Registry lists 491 cards in a 1952 Master set and 550 in a Super set. The additional cards involve hobby recognized variations front or back, and the Super set include the rare "Canadian" gray backs 131-180.

In 2013 Huggins and Scott auctioned what they called a Super set ay 579 cards. The additional cards were mostly recurring print defects. A check list of that set is in the link below. It includes a Rosen variant beyond the red and black backs, as the black back can be found with or without a pink slash around the cap. Jeff actually posted one of the pink slash versions above.

My two different black backs

I wasn't aware of that, Al. Thanks for sharing.

Here's my copy, again with a top right corner pull which I see quite often with this card.

Is one of the Rosen black back variations known to be less common than the other?

Here's my Rosen. One of the first few 52s I picked up when I started working on my low # run many years ago. Looks like it might be one of the pink slashers (never heard of that so-called variation til now so thanks for that info ALR).
