A '52 Bowman

 One of the better cards I got in the Cracked Bat Ballot Box was an '87 Donruss Rookies Bo Jackson. I already had the card so I traded it to Penny Sleeve for your Thoughts. In return Jon sent me this great card, a '52 Bowman of Cubs knuckleballer Willard Ramsdell. It's a beautiful card. I think the artist was making up a ballpark as I couldn't find any indication that there was an NL park with a 414 foot dimension, but perhaps I am wrong.

    Like everyone else, great trade!! And if the ballpark is made up, at least it looks like a nice one. The green of the grass is pretty vibrant.

    It's one foot short of Future Coors Field!

    That's a beauty. 1952 Bowman baseball is a fantastic set.
