I've been looking for a nicely centered one for ages:

Steve-- the top one is rarer if only because it is an unopened pack . I have at least one with each set

..starting to like this set but there's too many to attempt a "complete"...

Just received my Aaron clubs a WS homer card today. I just recently seen this card, (within the last 2 weeks) and once I did, I had to have one!

Thanks Al.

I have heard/read about the Feller variants but never really looked into them before.
I assume one isn't more rare/worth more than the other, or is that maybe the reason why I was getting waaay outbid on some of his cards?

Picked this up raw a couple of months ago for a hell of a deal at a local card show. Just received back from PSA, I'm very Happy with the grade :-)

Thanks Dustin.

I suppose that includes a '52 unopened pack?

Al, I know you and a handful of others here on the board have amazing collections!!!

Here's a tough 1968 Red Barn Memphis Blues card of Mike Jorgensen.

[Zach Wheat]

I will upgrade this card sometime...but was impulsive on this buy.

My 1952 Topps set is now complete including all high #'s, most variations and 11 mid-series gray backs. Quite happy to be complete with the entire set. Now on to a Master Set....
