And a Preacher for Friday.

Edit: Meant to add this little tidbit. While searching/looking at cards, I noticed Joe Page is the only card in the whole set who has his printed name beside/to the left of his signature. All other's names are stacked upon one another, but a few, in Frank Overmine, Charley Maxwell and Connie Marrero have their signature's above their printed name.

I had noticed there is a difference in the font size used for many of the names but not the location. Other players with very short names like Page are not done the way his name was so he is unique for some reason.

I'm not sure how other sets compare but the 52 Topps set is a set that just keeps on giving with anomalies, quirks and variations.

Just when one thinks there isn't anything new that could possibly come up about them all these years later, something always does it seems.

Given that I own 3 '52 topps cards and I missed Andy Pafko day, I've been waiting for this. Absolutely love this Preacher card. The colors are incredible. This is some set. I'll be back on Willie Mays day in 195 days or so....

Nice Roe. Just curious how you ended up with only those 3 1952 Topps cards.

I'm curious about the Pafko/Roe/Mays relationship as well. I guess they're all Dodgers (except Mays), all have names which connote religiosity (except Mays and Pafko), and all were born the last week in February (except for Mays).
