Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Collection of ten extremely high grade 1952 Topps rare high-number series cards (#311-407), including the rookie card of Hall of Fame pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm, each graded and encapsulated NM/MT 88 by SGC (except one NM/MT+ 92 and two PSA NM-MT 8s). This is an outstanding group! All are crisp gems. The collection consists of the following: #340, 343 (NM/MT+ 92), 363 (PSA NM-MT 8), 366, 371, 380, 385, 387, 392 Wilhelm RC, and 393 (PSA NM-MT 8). Each is a very strong example, with snow-white borders, sharp corners, and perfect gloss. All are bright, crisp, and perfectly clean, both front and back. This is a tremendous group of ultra high-grade 1952 Topps high numbers, with each card representing a potentially very significant contribution to virtually any world-class high-grade 1952 Topps set or collection. The equivalent SMR value for this group is $9,915. Total: 10 cards. Reserve $2,000. Estimate $4,000/$6,000+. SOLD FOR $7,638
