1952 Topps #38 Wally Westlake Black Back PSA 5 - A Power Bat on the Move

The 1952 Topps #38 Wally Westlake features a proven National League slugger during a period of transition in his career. Westlake had spent his best seasons with Pittsburgh, where his combination of power and run production made him a fixture in the Pirates lineup, including a career-best 24 home runs and 95 RBI in 1950.

This PSA EX 5 carries the Black Back variation and presents Westlake as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals. His 1952 Topps appearance came during an unusually well-traveled stretch, as trades moved him between several clubs in a short span. The card preserves that specific Cardinals chapter in Topps’ unmistakable painted style.

Westlake played 10 Major League seasons, finishing with 127 home runs and 539 RBI while suiting up for six different clubs. He was also selected to the 1951 National League All-Star team, recognition of the productive hitter he had become in Pittsburgh. The 1952 Topps Wally Westlake Black Back PSA 5 offers a snapshot of a veteran power hitter in motion—one chapter from a career that carried him across both leagues.
