1953 Topps Replicards
 
1 Attachment(s)
Six replicards of the missing high numbers in the 1953 Topps set. These creations were based on the well-known letter from a Topps employee unearthed by Bob Lemke in 2014. The letter claimed that these player portraits were withdrawn due to contractual issues that prevented the cards from being issued. The replicards feature the original portraits commissioned by Topps, with the exception of the Evers card. Let me know if interested, here or by PM.:)

That is fascinating! I didn't know about the Lemke letter. Now I will have to do some research

Chris: I looked through my files and came up with this column written by N54 board member Dave Hornish in 2014 on his Topps Archives website. Enjoy.
