The 1952 Max Lanier card shows what Topps could do when they got their color schemes right. Lanier had some excellent years with the Cardinals, snagging two World Series rings and found himself in New York for the 1952 season, joining a talented Giants squad. There's a slight diamond cut and the corners have some touches but the overall appearance is quite fresh. The blue Sharpie signature has come through with a grade of PSA/DNA MINT 9.
