He doesn't want to sell them, just looking at what the going rates are on them.

Thank you in advance

What a find for the buyer, but it's obvious he/she didn't know a lot about baseball cards or they would have taken the wrappers as well, or the whole lot if they were still in their packs.

Regardless, still a nice pick up for your friend.

Can you get any pics of them?

I have had both. Actually the '53 is a little harder to find than the '52. What an awesome yard sale find!!!

It's been awhile, but I remember selling the 1952 wrapper for around $150 and the 1953 wrapper for around $500. It's been awhile though. Not sure if these have gone up or down.

The 1953s are about to go down if these 16 hit the market.....

LOL...never thought about that. The person had 16 of them! WOW! He better do one at a time every 3 months or so.

Talk about a yard sale score!!!! Your buddy did well Patrick! What city was that in?

My wife and I garage-saled all morning. The best I could come up with was a few beat up 1985 Topps.

Yes, in Wisconsin, garage-saled is a real word.

Yeah, what he said! Where were these found? I can't imagine finding 52 and 53 Topps at a yard sale!
