Originally signed by Washington in 1940 but never appearing for the club, Jack Merson was the first player in Major League history to have ten RBIs in his first five games. He was also the first Pirates’ player to have a four-hit game early in his first few games with the club. From the landmark 1952 Topps release, recognized as the most important set of the modern, post-war era, we have Merson’s #375 high-number card, encapsulated and graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. Much more difficult to locate than the low-number cards issued in the first five series, the high-number cards from the final series (#311 to #407) are always on the watchlist of collectors, especially pleasing, mid-to-high grade examples. Off-center left-to-right and slightly from top-to-bottom, the card still displays well, with nice bold colouration.
