Top Ten Week - Day 3

This entire week will be devoted to various Top Ten lists culled from the ol' card stacks. Because why not. These are mostly based on favoritism as opposed to 'best'. My favorites are based on my own eclectic, fanciful whims. Yeah that's right. I have whims. And they're fanciful. Wanna fight about it?

Links to Day 1 Day 2

Today, we'll check out the top ten 1952 Topps Cincinnati Reds. Limited, of course, to those I have. Too bad, because there are some pretty slick high-numbered Reds, but I foolishly choose house payments instead, month after month.

10. #142 Harry Perkowski

Perkowski made the ten-spot on Sunday, so why not again?

9. #113 Dick Sisler

Topps getting a head start on the pink parallel.

8. #144 Ed Blake

This version only available at Wal-Mart.

7. #161 Bud Byerly

'Sup, ladies?

6. #69 Virgil Stallcup

Decent card, save for the very slight head-chopped framing.

5. #6 Grady Hatton

Background is kind of in limbo between stadium stands and a reflection in a pond.

4. #135 Dixie Howell

Horizontal catcher shot holding up the banner? Nice.

3. #13 Johnny Wyrostek

Very regal, this one. Cool name, too.

2. #29 Ted Kluszewski

Moved up because it's big Klu, but it's still pretty sweet.

1. #297 Andy Seminick

This is my favorite, for a few reasons. It's a catcher, it's framed nice, it's horizontal, Seminick is a bruiser. Just a great card.

Soldiering on with Day 4 tomorrow, kiddies. Go Reds.
