Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

The 1953 Topps set has always been one of the most popular sets of the 1950s. Presented is an extremely consistent complete set of this classic issue composed of 274 different cards, 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. PSA Grading Composite: NM 7 (13 cards): #21, 23, 27 Campanella, 66 Minoso, 102, 155, 183, 245, 250, 260, 265 Jensen SP, 266, and 277. EX-MT+ 6.5 (15 cards): #13, 55, 60, 81 Black SP, 84, 86 Martin SP, 121, 185, 204, 207 Ford, 211, 226, 228 Newhouser, 270, and 279. EX-MT 6 (246 cards): Including #1 Robinson, 10 Burgess SP, 37 Mathews, 41 Slaughter, 43 McDougald SP, 54 Feller, 61 Wynn SP, 62 Irvin, 76 Reese, 77 Mize, 78 Schoendienst, 82 Mantle, 87 Lopat SP, 104 Berra, 114 Rizzuto, 119 Sain SP, 138 Kell, 147 Spahn, 149 D. DiMaggio, 151 Wilhelm SP, 162 Kluszewski SP, 191 Kiner, 207 Ford, 220 Paige, 244 Mays, 246 Face RC, 254 Roe, 258 Gilliam RC, 263 Podres RC SP, 264 Woodling, 273 Haddix RC SP, 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 in the assigned grades (factoring in the fifteen half-grades at the lower whole-grade level) is $47,965. Total: 274 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Opening Bid $10,000.
