Has anyone here tackled the 1952 Topps set?

That is what I have. When I got mine on ebay I think I paid over $ 100 for the card, which was in slightly better condition than the one in the scan . The seller listed it as a variation and there were other bidders but the fact it is not listed like the black star makes it less marketable. Because it is a front variation it is easier to spot if it shows up on ebay by accident, but I think it is pretty rare from my experience.

If you do an ebay search now for a 1959 Topps Ramos, you will find a print defect unlisted variation offered for $ 2500 ( it is a PSA 9 ). That card has sold in Ex + conditon for .99 cents recently. If it ever get listed, the value would go up I think . Same with the border defect Campos, but in the case of the Campos I think the value could be significant because of the value taken on by the black star already
