1952 Topps #28 Jerry Priddy PSA 5 - A Double-Play Man in Detroit

The 1952 Topps #28 Jerry Priddy features a veteran second baseman whose reputation was built as much with his glove as with his bat. Originally a highly regarded Yankees prospect, Priddy eventually found his longest home with the Detroit Tigers, becoming their regular second baseman and one of the American League’s steadier infielders of the early 1950s.

Graded PSA EX 5, this card catches Priddy during his final season in Detroit. By then, he had already spent more than a decade in the majors and developed a reputation as an excellent defensive second baseman, bringing range and reliability to the middle of the Tigers infield.

Priddy played 11 Major League seasons with the Yankees, Senators, Browns, and Tigers, collecting more than 1,200 hits along the way. Long before reaching Detroit, he had also formed a celebrated minor-league double-play combination with Phil Rizzuto, as the two climbed through the Yankees system together. The 1952 Topps Jerry Priddy PSA 5 preserves a veteran at the opposite end of that journey—a polished big-league infielder whose baseball roots stretched back to one of the Yankees’ most famous prospect tandems.
