Default 1953 Topps

I sold my complete set, so excuse me for showing these reprints....but, there is a great story to go with them.

I was set-up at a BB card show in 1981 and a tall, mature looking gentleman came to my table and started to pull out certain 1953T
cards from my album. As he was paying for a dozen 1953T cards, I asked him why he selected those particular ones ? He responded
with......"I did the artwork for them".
For those of you who have not heard of Jerry Dvorak, he was one of several professional artists that Topps contracted to draw the
1953T cards. Jerry and I became great friends over the years.


Shown here are 8 of about 50 cards that Jerry did the artwork for Topps.
