Default 1952 Coppedge Winston-Salem Cardinals pix

1952 Winston-Salem players.jpg

The scrapbook of Winston-Salem Cardinals photos that I bought circa 2005 has nine autogrtaphed player portrait photos. Like the 1950 and 1951 pix, they are the work of a local studio, Coppedge.

The roster of '52 W-S Cardinals playing in 10+ games looks like it had 24 players, so this group represents only a third or so of the team.

The '52s, like the '51 photos, are in 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" format, with deckle edges. The difference between the two years' issues is that the 1952 photos have a narrower white border all around.

Eight of my nine 1952 photos have player autographs. They are:
Dom Barczewski
Bill Bernier
J.C. Dunn
Benny Fasano
Wally Fessler
Jim Michalec
Bill Oberschmidt
Bob Rooney

The ninth photo is unidentified. It is shown at bottom-left in the accompanying picture.
