Funny you mention that. I was aware he only played in '52 and wrapped up his pro career in September of that year...so why did he have a Topps card in '53?

And speaking of marginal players in the '52 set...how about poor Johnny Kucab? He disappears after '52, this is his only card, and it seems to be the lowest valued card in the whole high series. I've seen cards of his that have sat on ebay for years. He just doesn't sell.
