Thanks Patrick. That Clemente you picked up is also pretty spectacular.

Just added this Lasorda rookie to my 1954 Topps Set...

Matt, since you're collecting this set, maybe you know the answer. Is that 1954 Lasorda the only one in the set where the player goes beyond the border? Notice Tommy's glove goes to the edge of the card. I saw a few others where the player's arm or leg appears to be slightly over the color edge, but nothing as obvious as the Lasorda. That's something I hadn't really noticed before.

The Lasorda is probably the most extreme that I've seen...there are a few that bleed over but not to the degree of the Lasorda...these are examples in just the first 20 cards!



Interestingly, the Topps Archives version of the Lasorda card is cropped a bit differently (no bleeding in to the border)...here's a link to one.

GHG--interesting point. Now I am going to have to look through my whole set and see what I find

On a quick check... on cards with white background it is hard to tell, but for instance on the 94 Banks card, his ass looks to be hanging out. Others I noticed :
19 Lipton--bat
25 Kuehn-glove
27 Faris-bat
42 Mueller--ass
44 Garver-sleeve
86 Herman--sleeve
159 Philly--bat
178 Lowry-bat
179 Allie--glove

Thanks Matt and Al. I didn't mean to hijack this thread, just thought it was interesting. Ok, now back to the October pickups....
