1952 Topps #39 Dizzy Trout PSA 6 - Dizzy’s Final Full Season in Detroit
By the time 1952 Topps #39 Dizzy Trout reached collectors, Paul “Dizzy” Trout had already spent more than a decade as one of the most recognizable arms in Detroit. His finest stretch came during the 1940s, when the hard-throwing right-hander developed into an ace and helped make the Tigers a perennial American League contender.
Graded PSA EX-MT 6, this card depicts Trout during his final full season with Detroit. His 1944 campaign remains the centerpiece of his career: 27 wins, a 2.12 ERA, and 33 complete games, finishing second in American League MVP voting behind teammate Hal Newhouser. One year later, Trout helped the Tigers capture the 1945 World Series championship.
Trout spent 14 of his 15 Major League seasons with Detroit, earning two All-Star selections and finishing with 170 victories, 158 complete games, and 28 shutouts. The 1952 Topps Dizzy Trout PSA 6 looks back on a pitcher whose greatest seasons helped define wartime baseball—a longtime Tiger, a World Series champion, and one half of Detroit’s formidable Newhouser-Trout combination.
