Progress: 1st of this card
127 of 407
How acquired: $4.25 on ebay
Condition: Good
I overpaid for this card. But I bought it at a time when I wasn't having any luck and I had some paypal credits to play with. It's not the worst price I've ever paid for a card, bit it still bugs me. Forever whatever reason, this card has eluded me for a long time. It's not at all scarce, at least as far as '52 Topps go, and a copy always seems to be on ebay. But for whatever reason, I never managed to "win" one, so that may have influenced my decision to bid so "high" on it.
I'm a bit of a sucker for these cards of long defunct teams. There's a good number of them in the '52 set. I cringe at the thought of kids today viewing the Montreal Expos the way I view the St. Louis Browns.
Stats: 7 seasons, 264 hits, .236 avg., World Series Ring in '48 w/Cleveland, struck out in only plate appearance in the Series.
