My wife “gets me” and my baseball card collection.
Today she gifted me with the remainder of the 1952 Topps set. (My version, like several others does not include the silly 52T high numbers)
The final five fifty two’s were pretty tough ones:
#1 Pafko, Spahn, Billy Martin, Bob Lemon, Rizzuto and tough Early Wynn!
So now I just need these 6 cards to finish 1952-1980:
- 1963 Pete Rose (not a fan, and this is an ugly, expensive card)
- 1966 Horace Clarke (silly hi number alert, I did not enjoy collecting these!)
- 1966 Twins Team ( see above)
- 1967 Norm Cash (hi number, but a pretty set)
- 1967 Brooks Robinson (probably my next purchase, great card)
- 1968 Nolan Ryan (waiting for low grade, decent eye appeal for this easy to find card)
It will be good to finish these last half dozen this year (maybe)
Thanks to Wifey!
