I couldnt care less about your opinion.

There are simply not enough of them to have been sold through 1960. Unless each person is hoarding them like #332

That is unless you want to speculate that people thought the set ended at 310, which many did because highs WERE NOT AVAILABLE. Some have mentioned they thought it ended at 250


Ok, maybe they werent dumped at sea, it doesnt make your skewed data any more factual.

Have a nice night Ted!

Guys, I would hope that this historical photo might resolve the issue once and for all.

Keep the good info coming, gang. I took it as friendly banter between two rival experts. I'm soaking it up like a sponge in my new quest to put together a 1952 Topps set. MikeD and his 1976 set has inspired me to do 1952.

Always glad to inspire another collector to take on a long, expensive project.

I'll be living vicariously through you!

I read these posts with some interest, initially because I wondered why the cellophane-enclosed business was somehow being honored. Then after awhile I noticed all the talk about whether or not Sy Berger had actually dumped the cards in the Long Island Sound. Since I wrote the story from an interview with Sy - one of a half dozen I did over 20-plus years - where he told the story, I can offer my assurances that he was almost certainly telling the truth at the time. There would have been no reason to make the story up, and in any event Sy wouldn't have done so. And he did tell me 400 cases. As to my initial interest in this thread, why was the cellophane wrapped arrangement given a pass in the first place? Seems to me that finding eight unopened 1952 Topps packs would have prompted immediate slabbing and grading and then simple sale through a major auction house.
