I never thought of that...very cool. I assume these were taken in 1952, and indeed that was Yanks v Dodgers. 90% of the set is Yanks and Dodgers, mostly Yanks. Thanks for the added value Jolly...I still have a lot to learn about this cool set!

Like Tris himself, I reached out and grabbed this one, 1951 Topps Connie Mack's All-Stars Tris Speaker.

This is a set I remember seeing in the old photocopied mailings from those card collectors companies when I was a kid, and my wondrous eyes saw these great things as nothing short of forgotten ancient relics. Very cool, indeed.
