This is now the oldest card I own

It's a 1952 Bowman that I got off of eBay for $2.00. It was about $4.00 with postage. It has a crease on the bottom left and some rounded corners, but it's still in pretty good shape. It'll be hard to complete team sets from this era, so I'll take everything I can get.

Today in Giants' History - September 9

1916: New York Giant Pol Perritt beats the Phillies twice, winning 3 - 1 and 3 - 0.

1948 - At the Polo Grounds, Dodger Rex Barney no-hits the Giants, 2-0.

1950: Sal Maglie of the Giants hurls his fourth consecutive shutout, tying a major-league record, and beats the Dodgers 2 - 0. Alvin Dark's two HRs provide the runs.

1951: Sal Maglie wins his 20th game to give the Giants a 2 - 1 win over the Dodgers' Ralph Branca. Monte Irvin's two-run homer in the 4th gives New York all its scoring, The Dodgers score in the 8th on a double by Duke Snider and a triple by Jackie Robinson. But 3B Bobby Thomson snags a ground, tags Robby, and throws to first for a DP. The Dodgers still lead the Giants by five 1/2 games.
