Unless I'm missing something, the 57 Topps looks undergraded. I would pick that one up first.

I would take the 57 all day. The centering alone (which can be tough on the 57s) makes it the better value.

I would agree that there is just too much creasing on the 52, especially across the face.

I'll put it this way: Do you want an older, wrinkly woman or a younger hottie?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I'd go for the '52 Bowman, myself, because I love wrinkles - on cards, that is, not so much on human beings, having so many myself. Hey, isn't CBF herself 52 years old?
