Description

Outstanding near-complete set of 1953 Topps composed of 270 different cards (out of 274), each professionally graded and encapsulated by PSA. This group of cards displays a striking appearance throughout, with bold colors, strong corners, and excellent centering. 1953 Topps is one of the most popular and collected of all 1950s gum issues and one of the most significant of all postwar baseball card issues. Missing the following cards for completion: #1 Robinson, 82 Mantle, 220 Paige, and 244 Mays (all offered as individual lots in this current auction). PSA Grading Composite: NM+ 7.5 (6 cards): #25, 69, 117, 129, 137, and 140. NM 7 (83 cards): #4, 9, 12, 13, 20, 23, 29, 31, 41 Slaughter, 42, 43 McDougald SP, 44, 48, 50, 53, 55, 57, 58, 59, 62 Irvin, 63, 65, 71, 72, 73, 76 Reese, 81 Black SP, 84, 85, 86 Martin SP, 91, 93, 95, 97, 98, 101, 102, 103, 106, 107, 108, 110, 111, 128, 135, 139, 141, 144, 146, 147 Spahn, 151 Wilhelm, 155, 156, 157, 158, 165, 173, 177, 179, 181, 186, 187, 188, 193, 194, 195, 197, 200, 212, 216, 218, 235, 239, 240, 246 Face RC, 247, 248, 256, 263 Podres RC SP, 264 Woodling, 265 Jensen SP, 269, and 270. EX-MT+ 6.5 (29 cards): #6, 10 Burgess SP, 11, 21, 28, 34, 40, 67, 116, 125, 149 D. DiMaggio, 150, 160, 168, 176, 178, 192, 199, 221, 222, 226, 227, 231, 232, 233, 236, 260, 273 Haddix RC SP, and 278. EX-MT 6 (152 card): Including #27 Campanella, 37 Mathews, 54 Feller, 61 Wynn SP, 77 Mize, 78 Schoendienst, 87 Lopat SP, 104 Berra, 114 Rizzuto, 119 Sain SP, 138 Kell, 162 Kluszewski SP, 191 Kiner, 207 Ford, 228 Newhouser, 254 Roe, 258 Gilliam RC, and 280 Bolling RC SP. The flush-to-the-bottom-border design of the 1953 Topps set makes this issue particularly susceptible to edge and corner wear and makes the assembly of high-grade sets all the more difficult. This is an exceptional high-quality complete set of 1953 Topps, far above average for this issue, with tremendous eye appeal across the board. The total SMR value for the individual cards is $20,000. Total: 270 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
