NM 84 (1 card): #325 Serena. EX/MT+ 82 (6 cards): #339, 343, 356, 357 Burgess, 365, and 404.

This is a very substantial and attractive group of scarce high numbers that would be right at home in any high-quality 1952 Topps set. The equivalent SMR value in the assigned grades is $7,740 (not including the three cards graded less than EX and factoring the fourteen half-grades at the lower whole-grade level). Total: 43 cards. Reserve $2,500. Estimate $5,000+.
