You mentioned 1951. Topps has had a base set from 1952 forward. In 1951 they had 5 "sets". Assume you would be looking for a red or blue back game card for that year ?

I did that Topps run but in sets :-)

yes. I want to get either a red or blue back from 1951.thank you for the kind offer! I will send you a message

I just discovered the 52-54 are BIGGER cards and may possibly not fit in a binder. Crap, crap , crap!

My understanding is that they make 4 card pages, so that is always an option for the first couple of years of the run.

I may have to do something like that. Im a complete novice to Post War cards. I had no idea they were bigger. Its what I get for stepping away from T206 for a while!

They make 8 pocket pages that are perfect for the 52 to 56 Topps cards. Any local card shop will have them, or you can get them on ebay

52-56 are bigger

Im gonna check a card shop for one. I only need one sheet and the cheapest on Ebay are twelve bucks for twenty.
All the other cards in the album are tobacco sized and standard.

Coming along nicely thanks to help from ALRBishop and others I now have every year except for the nineties and 00 decade (I have 2010 thru 2014) and I expect to pick the missing years up my next trip to a flea mkt as I assume nineties cards are still going for a giveaway price.
I find myself staring at these cards as often as my T206 cards this week Particularly love the 1958 Topps which is a beautiful design. Im glad I took a break from my 'baccer cards long enough to do this. I used to say I had zero interest in post war but now I see what you guys like about them. A lot there I never knew about.

My favorite era to collect is the late 1940s to the early 1970s. The card designs are bold and colorful. The players very historic. And many remember putting the sets together when they came out.
