Four Hall-of-Famers headline this lot, with a HOF-worthy mouth and a confounding player image rounding out the half dozen classic 1952 Topps cards offered here. Phillies and HOF Teammates Roberts (PSA 5) and Ashburn (PSA 6) lead the charge in Flexichromed glory followed by a particularly striking (and strong) image of fellow Hall-of-Famer George Kell (PSA 6).  Big Jawn Mize (PSA 6) hefts the lumber for the Yankees while Joe Garagiola (PSA 5) just seems happy to be in the bigs.  Then there is the nutty Gus Zernial card (PSA 5), which prompted a number of questions in The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book, most pertinent among them: "How do you suppose they got those baseballs to stay up there anyway?  Nails?  Scotch tape?  Postage-stamp hinges?"  We may never know but this nicely-matched lot sure makes you think about it.
