"His Walk About" - Bubba went 15-11 with a 3.53 ERA and 15 complete games for the Phillies in 1951, the best season of his six year MLB career.  He retired with a record of 36-37 and 4.10 ERA, compiled as a Phillie, Red, and Cub.

"That's Not a Knife" - It's a "Whiz Kid." Church was a member of the Pennant winning Philadelphia Phillies as rookie in 1950. 

"More of a love bite really..." - This cards color has dulled a little over the last 70 years, but it doesn't have any major issues to speak of.

"Down Under" - Church is a high number, card #323, in the 1952 set and not one that I am in possession of. From the pictures I've found, I slightly prefer his '52 over his '53. That cuts the '53 set's lead to 35-30-7.
