Topps Heritage auto 1957 Topps Charley Thompson **reprint**
Here’s some fun little wiki facts about Mr. Thompson. In Baseball references stats they have him as Tim Thompson. I guess 56 was his best season.
“In 1956, Thompson was the Athletics' most-used starting catcher, starting in 63 games; he set personal bests that year in games played (92), hits(73), runs batted in (27) and batting average (.272). The following year, playing behind regular backstop Hal Smith, Thompson hit seven home runs in 81 games, but his average declined to .204. He then was included in a 12-player trade with the Tigers that November. Thompson appeared in four games with the Tigers, with one hit in six at bats, before he was acquired by the independently-operated Toronto Maple Leafs of the Triple-A International League.”
