1952 Topps Chris Van Cuyk
You’ve seen the modern version of the ‘52, now here’s the real thing. I don’t care how unremarkable Chris Van Cuyk’s career might have been, look at that smile! The back of the card says he’s “Back in the BIg Leagues” and his smile shows it. “I’m going to be on a bubble gum card!” he probably said right after the picture was taken.
See how gorgeous these ‘52’s are? They used a coloring process called Kodak Flexichrome to color the b&w photos for the cards. Check out that flaming orange background! I traded for this card last year in the Topps Million giveaway. I think I gave up a ‘52 Del Crandall and some 70’s cards, what a deal.
