Evenly matched, near complete (309/310) low number run of the tremendously popular 1952 Topps Baseball issue with cards averaging EX/EX+ condition overall. The first series (1-80) fall mostly in the VG to EX range with a large proportion having some light to moderate staining on the reverse. The rest (81-310) are a lot better overall with most in the EX to EX-MT category, with some even better. We sent 8 of the most expensive cards in the run to PSA for grading, including the key Willie Mays Topps Rookie, which came back an EX PSA 5. Key cards are: #1 Pafko VG PSA 3, 2 Runnels VG+, 3 Thompson EX+, 7 Terwilliger VG-EX, 9 Hogue EX+, 10 Rosen EX, 11 Rizzuto(HOF) EX PSA 5, 20 Loes EX, 22 DiMaggio EX+/EM, 26 Irvin(HOF) EX, 29 Kluszewski EX, 33 Spahn(HOF) EX-MT PSA 6, 36 Hodges VG-EX PSA 4, 37 Snider(HOF) VG+, 48 Page P-F, 49 Sain VG+, 57 Lopat EX, 59 Roberts(HOF) VG+, 65 Slaughter(HOF) VG+, 88 Feller(HOF) EX-MT PSA 6, 91 Schoendienst(HOF) EX+, 122 Jensen EM(OC), 129 Mize(HOF) EX, 175 Martin EX-MT PSA 6, 191 Berra(HOF) NM PSA 7, 195 Minoso EX(OC), 200 Houk EX+, 216 Ashburn(HOF) EM, 243 Doby(HOF) EX+, 246 Kell(HOF) EX+/EM, 250 Erskine EX w/angle cut, 261 Mays(HOF) EX PSA 5, 268 Lemon(HOF) EX+, 277 Wynn(HOF) EX, 310 Metkovich EX.
