Description

Presented is a complete set of 1952 Topps consisting of all 407 cards, each professionally graded and encapsulated by PSA, highlighted by #311 Mickey Mantle VG-EX 4! This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a complete set of 1952 Topps, the premier postwar gum-card set, without spending the fortune that this set would cost in a higher grade, or the considerably higher amount that it would almost certainly cost to put this set together one card at a time. This particular set consists of 53 black back variations and includes both red and black backs for the following four cards: #8, 25, 57 Lopat, and 69. Also includes both variations of #48 and 49.

The amazing thing about a quality low- to medium-grade 1952 Topps set such as this is the outstanding value it offers compared to cards in higher grade, as well as the comfort provided by the natural potential "break value" associated with such a set. This is a rarely offered, very pleasing mixed-grade complete set of one of baseball card collecting's premier issues, with numerous significant highlights. Total: 413 cards (complete set of 407 plus 6 variations). The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
