Hi guys,

After a lifetime of collecting, have decided to sell the majority of cards. I built these sets with a focus on centering looking for the best examples out there. There are numerous dead centered copies that are among the nicest examples in the hobby. Very much appreciate any bids you guys throw my way. The cards are being auctioned on ebay via PWCC Auctions.

Here is a link to each set and a card from each set as an example of what type of quality you will find in the sets.

1952 Topps 99% Complete

I was watching for this auction back when you mentioned it earlier in another post.

Needless to say, you have some beautiful card and definitely some I'd love to own, but just like I thought, all the bids I have put in so far were quickly outbid.

I will keep watch and hope for myself that prices don't go above what I can afford, but seeing how nice these cards are, I highly doubt that is going to happen.

Good luck with your sales.

Thanks Jeff.

It's going to be hard winning some of these cards as I am sure a lot will be sniped at the very end and being as most end very close to each other, it will be hard to keep up.

I see a lot that I like/want but I will be lucky if I get a few on the cheap.

Curious, and this is a total rookie question so go easy on me, but why are some cards with same/similar grades so much higher than others already? I see some commons for a few bucks and I see some getting up way there comparatively?

None of these are HOF's or stars that I am aware of, so is it just peeps needing those particular cards as they were likely harder to get?

I wanted this card back some time ago but it got way outbid on me and now I see it heading that way again??

What is with this Walker Cooper guy that I don't know about? I wanted his card as he had the exact same first and middle name as my son but until I joined this site I had never heard of him before?

This card is beautifully centered, so it'll go for a premium. Being that it is a 52 Topps, who knows what it will end at. It's the premiere Topps set... ever.

Another reason, outside of the card itself, is the PSA registry.

He's got other cards like 1948-1953 Bowman and 1956,57,60 Topps, not to mention a few oddball sets that could be even cheaper, if you aren't headstrong on the 52 Topps.

Congratulations on the results. If the rest of your lots turned out as well as your 53 Mantle and 55 Clemente you should be very pleased.

Thanks Jesse...results were beyond anything that I expected. The market is absolutely on fire right now for centered cards with nice eye appeal.

Thanks to all who put in bids...hope you got some cards that you wanted.
