More Gem Mint goodness today. The 1954 Topps set always bothered me for no other reason than they decided to border only 3 of the 4 sides. I'm sure there is an artsy reason for that, but I don't comprehend it. Though, a lot of credit for the action photos that found their way into the set, particularly this one. My card here I'm sure looked really great at one point, but it was loved too much for too long and now it's a washed up old sot in desperate need of some sleep. Nah. It's a Kluszewski. It's proudly propped up on the display shelf. Go Reds.
Very cool. I have an Archives reprint of this one, but owning the real thing would be about a zillion times better.
