I don't venture over here too often, but it seems like I'm gonna change that.

I really do love the '50's TOPPS cards, always have.

I just can't get over how many cards posted here are absolute killers! WoW. Kudos to all are in order.

Regards, Jimmy

Just finished a deal for this one. Wish I could afford a nicer one but I needed to fill the Robinson void in my collection since I sold my '53. Always liked this card.

The 2012 edition of the SCD Catalog now lists 2 variations for this card, as well as the other double prints, Mantle and Thompson. It cites the reverse stitching on the back, although there are front differences as well, particularly for Mantle and Robinson

Very nice, Adam. Curious to know if there is a Pat Gillick photo from that set?

Wow, those Red Wings really are nice....great color!

Nice - Ozzie Virgil, Joe Altobelli and Don - is that Brummet, or Brummel? Don't recall him.

lovin the Ozzie Virgil... I believe he was the first Dominican player to ever play Major League Baseball

Thanks guys. My main collecting focus these days is post-war minor league issues, so this group was a pretty decent score for me. The players are: Ozzie Virgil, Joe Altobelli, Don Brummer.
