1952 Topps 1-310, is it considered complete?

[jasonc]

Because of the tough high numbers do you consider 1952 Topps 1-310 Complete (Just the low series) providing you want to stop it at that and are satisfied with that.

If I ever collect this set, thats probably the route I would go. Not so much of the J.Robinson, Campenella, Mantle, but the high number commons, $100 a piece for low grade commons is probably what would turn me off.

For comparison would you be happier and feel like you accomplished something by completing 1-310 in 1952 Topps, or would a 1953, 1954 COMPLETE set be more satisfying to you.

Who here is just going after 1-310 and then calling it complete? In contrast, who is going for 1-407?

I'm going for 1-310 plus a few key cards. Mantle, Robinson, Campy, and Mathews.

I agree the $100 per card commons turn me off from pursuing it.

I would say collect it the way you want - but 1-310 is not a complete 1952 Topps set.

I completed the 1952T set as a short set ..1-310, it was quite a challenge never the less, and I was thrilled just to get that far.......ended up tiring of it and sold it a few yrs ago

When I was a young collector 1-250 was a complete set! In my area of WNY we never saw any other series & for many years I thought I had them all!

I have about 50 of the cards in very nice condition, including 3 hi's. Even $30-40 for commons in the low series can become expensive after a while. It's doubtful that I ever put 1-310 together and I'm content to keep the cards I have. So, I have moved on to other sets that I can actually complete. A set for me would be 1-407.

Say, Fred - If you don't mind my asking, what town(s) in WNY and, if you can recall, what retailers were you looking in for 1952 Topps cards? It is of some interest to me, because, as a tyke, I never could find 1952 Topps cards in any of the stores in my old hometown of Auburn, NY. Plenty of Bowman, but the only '52 Topps I saw were in the collections of obnoxious little rich kids who were able to trek to NYC to do their gumcard shopping.

Same here

[1963Topps Set]

The complete 1952 Topps set is 407 cards, nothing less.
