A 1952 Topps complete set. Starting "the" ultimate post war project

[Cmvorce]

Timely thread for me. This weekend on eBay and with some online sellers one thing led to another and before I knew it I’m now up to 78 cards in the set. I guess that means I’m officially in. Wish me luck.

Finally hit my paydirt last week:

Thanks, and congrats on completed your set! That's a big accomplishment.

Also, Larry I think there are a number of variations in the '52 set that are known but not publicized yet.

Dale - nice pickups

Thanks.

Always glad to have another 52 Topps collector on board. It's a great set and is a fun set to put together.

Good luck!

Actually those are nice looking cards, Dale... They have good eye appeal.
and they're high numbers, always an accomplishment to get those!

Thanks Jason!

I was actually surprised, when I received them today, how white/clean the borders/cards are. The sellers scans did not highlight them well enough, imo, to show this.
I know a lot of members say their cards look much nicer in hand, (and I'm one of them) as my printer, as I've said before, makes mine look darker as well.

Oh snap! I might be going down this pigeon hole and starting this set! The only problem is that I feel that all of the sets from 1951-1956 are such nice looking sets!

There is a 52 Gallery set thread in here in which those collecting the set posted all 407 cards in order including variants

The '57 set ain't exactly chopped liver ??:

57s have at least two versions of each card, dark and less dark. But it is one of my favorites

52 Gallery thread. Gets off the a rough start but eventually gets going on first page
