Thanks for the kind words. Your #'s are correct. My understanding is that the missing 6 numbered cards in the 1953T set
was due to the Bowman vs Topps conflict (especially regarding Phillies cards). Bowman (being Philly based) prevented Topps from portraying the Phillies stars, Ashburn, Ennis, Konstanty, Roberts, Sim- mons, etc. in their 1953 set. Best regards, TED Z |

And quite possibly in 1951 as well as there is a Philly connection with the three Topps Major League AS who are short printed: two are Phillies (Roberts, Konstanty) and one was born there (Stanky). The Philly/Bowman connection may also have sunk the Team Card set that year too. |
