Default Elusive Howie Fox 1952 Topps

Notes: Rare 1952 Topps Signed Card Auction; $5 Million Mick Still in Storage; Collecting Ali Cards

January 19, 2021 By Rich Mueller

Collector Tom Killeen is selling his partial set of autographed 1952 Topps cards at auction this week including one of the toughest signed cards from that iconic set.

No, not Mickey Mantle.

Killeen has one of the four signed copies of Howie Fox’s card on PSA’s Population Report.

Fox spent parts of nine seasons in the major leagues from 1944 to 1954. He was pitching for the Phillies in 1952 when Topps decided to put him in their first full scale baseball set. Finding his card is easy. Finding one he signed is virtually impossible.

In 1955, Fox was stabbed to death outside a San Antonio bar he’d recently purchased while playing in the minor leagues. With only a limited number of collectors chasing autographed baseball cards at the time, Fox is believed to have only signed a handful.

The card Killeen owns is the highest graded of the four.

In total, his set–one he’s been working on for the last 16 years– contains 341 of the 407 cards.
