1952 Topps High Number Complete Sheet

[Volod]

Your effort is laudable, Cliff, but I can't figure out the point here. Since the order and arrangement of cards is only apparent from the actual printing sheet itself, what can be found by piecing together a replica sheet? Along with a few partials that were likely promo samples, much of what is shown seems to be individual cards pasted together to replicate an uncut sheet. Ted Z's recollection of the full printing sheet is useful, but there are no extant photos of it that have materialized.

Nice work, Cliff.

Thanks for doing that.

The partial sheet in Post #1 here represents the lower-most right quarter of the complete Hi # sheet.

Whatever you do....leave it intact.

I collect uncut sheets BOWMAN, FLEER, LEAF, TOPPS, and a few pre-war sheets. Needless to say, the older they are, the scarcer
they are, nowadays.

Excellent simulation of the '52T Hi #s sheet.

Regarding the complete 100-card sheet I saw 40 years ago (noted above), if I recall correctly Rob Lifson acquired it.

Perhaps, with some luck, he may have a photo of it. I will try to contact him about it.


Incidentally, here's partial 1st Series (cards #1 - 80) uncut sheet. TOPPS printed their sheets in formats of 100 cards.
This one represents cards #51 - 80 (with the row containing cards #51 - 60 Double-Printed).
