I remember seeing him set up at card shows.

Don't forget the players names in the backgrounds too

Neat stuff. I always enjoy hearing this type of minutae that I tend to otherwise not hear or overlook. Now I want to go through my own and see what else.

I met Gerry at a BB card show in Freehold, NJ in 1981. He was looking for certain 1953 Topps cards at my table.
Gerry picked out of my stock album an assortment of 53T cards, and I asked him....why those particular cards ?
He surprised me as he told me he was the artist who drew them back in 1952. From that moment on Gerry and I
developed a lifelong friendship. There was a great article on Gerry in VCBC (issue #31).

Shown here are some of the 1953 cards that Gerry was contracted out to do.

Ted -- I tell you I love all those cards, and for some reason Johnny "The Big Cat" (great nickname!) Mize's face probably sticks with me most through all these years...since I started collecting them in the 60s. What a puss!
