What numbers and how big the series are varies with every set. For the 1952 Topps, #1-80 are the low numbers, #81-310 are mid, while the high numbers are #311-407 and are the toughest. For 1957 Topps, the toughest cards are from a middle series. So it can vary every year.

And this is from an institution of "higher" learning.
