Ted Beard would get 15 games into the 1952 season before Pittsburgh demoted him and most of the rest of career was spent in the minors. Already a grizzled veteran, his 1952 Topps pose seems a bit wistful. Some slight corner touches are seen on a card that presents very nicely. The signature is PSA/DNA, AUTHENTIC in dark fiber-tip marker, but has faded a bit over the years.
