1952 Topps High Number survival numbers
Hello, I was wondering if my fellow board members had a rough of idea of how many copies of each card in the 1952 Topps High Numbers still exist. I have read the story of the back stock being dumped in the hudson, so I have always wondered just how many may still exist of each player in the series. Thanks for the help

My best guess would be tens of thousands of each card.

There are 18275 high #'s that have been graded by PSA (yes I actually added them up). What percentage of all the cards out there actually get graded? If we guess 2%, then there are 913,750 high #'s available. Since the high numbers are from #311 to #407 that's 97 cards. So that is 9420 cards for each high number. That's just doing the math, but how close that is to reality, no one knows. I would say this guess is still way too low. There are still a lot of undiscovered collections out there that would add to the number available .

High Numbers
I have no idea, but the math for 311-313 could factor in the DPs. I am not a graded collector, does anyone know how the 913,750 compares to the number of graded cards in the other series from 1952 ?

There are 144,852 total 1952 Topps cards graded by PSA. So just subtract the high numbers and you have your answer. 144852-18275 = 126,577 other series graded by PSA. So if we figure that's 2% of the total population of low numbers, we get 6,328,850. Is that close to reality? Who knows.
