I do not think that hobby legend has ever been fully substantiated, but think Berger did encourage it. I think it is just as logical that not nearly as many high number sheets were produced in the later portions of that summer. Good thing the Mantle was a DP
The high numbers are easier to find and cheaper than the gray back "Canadians" at this point |
I believe in the original SCD article on the 52 Topps set, which had an interview with Berger he did substantiate that that story was true....regarding a barge full of 52 Topps high numbers being dumped into the ocean off of NJ. As is suggested I wouldn't put it past him to have used that story....if it is true or not....to promote the set.
I am traveling, but I saved a copy of that article.
