As the subject says.... are there any books about the 1952 topps set and its significance in the market/hobby?

Has been written to the best of my knowledge. You probably would not sell a lot of copies; but that would be a great task to write about each player in 52; some of their highlights; some of the sets highlights and quirks as you find out about them.

Rich K is probably correct; however, I vaguely recall the BASEBALL CARDS magazine (back in the 1980's)
had an article on this set.

I collected these 1952 cards (52T) as a kid and I still have my collection of cards. Since I returned to the
hobby in 1977, I've put together two 52T sets. The first taking off from my original cards and completing
a set of 407 cards. A more ambitious challenge was completing a "master set" of 552 cards......which in-
cludes all the variations and the very rare 60 (mid-series) Gray backs. I still need 41 of these "grays". So,
I now have 511 different 52T cards.

Anyhow, if anyone is interested, I can answer many questions collectors may have on these cards (series,
variations, market value, distribution, etc.). And, whatever impact the 52T's have had on the hobby.
