Greg gets top dollar for his cards as he has a huge and loyal customer base. Just look at the bid history on that card. All but 1 bidder has over 80% bid history with Greg.

I would also be interested in trading for the Ted depending on what you are looking for in return.

I just won over 12 52 Topps cards from Greg. In the listing, it said I had purchased from him before but I honestly can't recall.

I normally type in 52 Topps in the E-Bay header but did not see any Greg Morris cards the other night?? As I scrolled down to read the card I was looking at I noticed more listings below horizontally.
I checked those out and seen they were Greg Morris cards so then I checked out his items for sale and notice a pile more of 52 Topps cards.
Those are the cards I won but if I hadn't noticed the cards at the bottom I never would have seen Greg's cards.

This isn't the first time I have noticed this and I am confused as to why?

Sorry for getting off topic, but I am curious if anyone else has ever noticed this before?
I once typed in "52 Topps" and looked at those cards, then I typed in "52 Topps Baseball cards" and noticed even more. Now I check both titles as to assure I am not missing out on any.

I am completely happy with my purchases and since he ships for $3.00 all the way from California, it was a win/win for me.

ebay is all over the place with what you have to type into the search bar. Using yours as an example sometimes "52 Topps" will give you everything. Sometimes "1952 Topps" will give the same exact results and sometimes it doesn't.

Thanks for confirming that, Ben. Now I wonder how many cards I have missed out on?

And again, sorry for hijacking this thread.

I may be interested in the Mays if you want to pm me your asking price.

Thanks.

One thing I've always wondered about those sets is...how come there was never a Mickey Mantle in any of them?

Yes.. Mantle and Jackie Robinson. Would have loved to see a 1954 topps mantle as that is one of my favorite sets. But I guess we all want what we cant have.

Mantle may not have been a big enough star in the '52 or '53 seasons. Bowman had him under contract for '54 and '55. He may have just been on a different contract in 52 and 53.

I thought Mantle was under contract with Topps in 52, 53.

In that period I believe the Topps and Bowman contracts were exclusive only as to the sale of their likeness with confections, candy and gum.( Not sure if tobacco was included in some) And I think that continued after Topps bought Bowman, possibly to avoid anti trust issues. I think anyone could have contracted with a player to sell his likeness by itself or with other products, like the Fleer cookie or Leaf marble.

Maybe, but he also had Bowman products those years (and other smaller issues) and Topps didn't seem to mind.
