Probably. But no scarier than those guys that know every factory/brand/front combination for T206!:p

52 topps set
I have 95% SGC graded and #1 on the SGC Registry. I collect sgc 60 and up.
I dont collect the variation but am interested in the 2 Mantles. What is the variation? |
Mantle
On the back of the two Mantles, Thompson and Robinson, the high number double prints the stitching on the baseball on the back runs right or left. On the Mantle front the e in the auto is full or cut off and the top star line is straight or wavy
|
There is also a variation with the square box on the front. One is missing the bottom black line, one isn't. Thats the way I distinguish the two.
|
Mantle
You can see the two side by side on page 2 in this thread

Interesting card I picked up. Looks like the yellow smeared over the card

Mustard stain ? :-)
Another interesting print oddity |
'52 Topps
Just recently sold my set (407 all red backs + 55 of the Low # black backs + The Page/Sain variations + the #307 Frank Campos Black Star; Frank House Tiger variations, Boone background variations and the Woodling and Schieb "gap in border" cards)
My High numbers were from Poor-Ex or so......not sure how long it took to get that far Last card was #325 Serena |
If anyone has doubles in decent shape (VG to EX) of the base set (dont care about variations) I am interested.
|
Mea Culpa
I posting this list of variations months ago, I failed to give credit to Mr. Thomas Killeen, who has conducted years of research on 1952 Topps and helped discover some of these variations. He is, perhaps, best known for his discovery of the yellow logo Frank House.

52 Variants
I mentioned this in the other thread, I think all these and maybe a couple more are reflected in the H&S check list for the Super 52 set it recently sold. I think there is still a link to that checklist in the 52 Loes thread now in this forum

52Topps complete ?
I took on the 52T set a few yrs ago...then chickened out and ignored the high#s. Just felt it would have been a lifetime quest.
It was still a challenge..even in beat up shape....finished it...looked at it... decided I wasnt really "in love" with it....sold it to another collector and moved on to something else RalphG |
i'm trying it. i'm down to 47 cards for the lows and have nothing but time to finish the hi's. if anyone has any in decent vg-vg+ shape with no real miscuts i would be interested. i also have some to trade. its a great set to collect. i'm not looking for red or black backs just what comes a long.
good luck all anyway here is my list 1952 topps low 47 cards 1 pafko-2 runnells-4 LENHARDT-8 MARSH-10 ROSEN-15 PESKY-20 LOES -30 PARNELL-31 zernial-36 hodges-47 JONES-49 sain-59 roberts-77 KENNEDY -88 feller-122JENSEN -129 mize-151 POST-175 martin-187 MILLER -191 berra-195 minoso-200 houk-215 bauer-216 ashburn-250 erskine-261 mayes-262 trucks-270 BRISSIE-273 PALICA -274 branca-278 CLARK-279 STEWART-280 CLOYD BOYER-281 SP BROWN-282 SP TEBBETTS-285 SP FANNIN -286 SP DeMAESTRI-290 SP ASTROTH-296 SP rolfe-297 SP SEMINICK-298 SP ROSS -299 SP MURRAY -306 SLEATER -311 mantle Graded to be replaced 41-76-132-133-142-218-252-255-264 |
I started the set last year low number only 1-310. I'm sitting at 288/310 and decided to also do red/black backs on 1-80 after getting Pafko in both. I have 50/80 on the red and 65/80 on the black with just 4 numbers not represented. I've picked up some good large lots along the way from a couple places and made pretty good money selling my dupes off. I still need the Mays of course and Berra but it's a really nice even VGEX to EX set so far. Along the way, I've picked up (6) of the high numbers in similar condition. They're a bear to get. I have like 29 dupes that I'll list in the BST section tonite or tomorrow for those wanting some singles...........

Packs
It is part of a full set and pack run, so no. Plus since I have the set, and upgrading a card or two is not a temptation. Besides, whatever is in there is likely worth less than the unopened pack. The mystery is usually better than the reality
|
52 topps pack question
How much is a 52 Topps pack worth in PSA 5 and up or GAI 8? I am over 90% complete with the set and I have been looking for a pack to place in my collection. The buy it now price on Ebay is crazy.
|
52 Packs
Got the one I have several years ago when a bunch of them from a box went up for sale. Prices dropped for awhile but have risen again. I have not followed them specifically recently

1952 Topps

Tom, That is making pretty good progress. Good job. I also started by buying lots - but held on to my duplicates. I have the first 310 as well as most of the Hi Numbers. I am missing approx. 17 Hi numbered cards for a complete set. Most of my hi numbered cards are EX+ to NM - which was not easy to find on a consistent basis. I have some variations and only 3 perhaps 4 of the mid series gray backs (misplaced 1 card and can't seem to locate it). I will consider my set complete when I have finished the last of the hi numbered cards. I will continue to work on the variations though. Z Wheat |
It is beautiful set, but one I will probably not complete anytime soon due to $$$. However I am working on a mid grade 1953 Topps set, and I am missing only 17 cards to have it complete!
