I was thumbing through my 1951 Topps cards the other day, re-checking my wantlist. Discovered that instead of needing just one card to complete my set, I was missing four! Of course this is almost always better than buying a card and discovering you already had it. So I picked up two of the '51 Topps I needed along with a '52 Bowman Small hit.

I couldn't find out much about Elmer Costa. It looks like he might have been drafted by the Browns in 1952.

On September 23, 1951 Arnold Burwitz, along with three other players, stole chickens from the school’s farm. In response the school suspended him immediately from the team and two days later expelled him from school.

Billy Howton had a pretty good NFL career playing 12 years with the Packers, Browms, and Cowboys.
