This is a very attractive near-complete low-number run of 1952 Topps, one of card collecting’s most popular classics, in very desirable and relatively affordable grades (compared to the much higher values of higher-grade 1952 Topps cards). A 1952 Topps low-number set run such as this is not easily found, represents a particularly outstanding collecting value, and, of course, is a very substantial start toward a complete set. The total SMR value for 283 of the 286 graded cards (factoring in the one half grade at the lower whole-grade level and not including the three qualified cards) is $12,993. Total: 286 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Reserve $5,000.
