1952 topps 3rd series paper quality

[darkhorse9]

I'm curious, I've noticed that finding cards in the 1952 Topps third series in higher condition seems tougher than the other series. I run across a ton of very rounded corners in that series. More so than the other series.

Could that be a product of the different paper stock they used for that series?

I'm asking for a friend

Hey Mark,

I have not noticed this to be true. My '52 Topps do not seem to have any condition sensitive issues by series. Here is M Lemke's blog where he talks about some of the paper differneces used in the different series - but the focus is mainly centered around the mid-series gray back issue.
