I know the buyer is nobody on this thread because we are already past card #4, but anyone have a theory on why the $$$ are so high? Card was listed as NM.

The price is crazy, and I don't think I would call the card NM with the bottom corners looking like they are. Would that card get a 7 from a grader?

This is the one set I'm pretty flexible with condition, happy with a low grade just to have it...but...I get pretty excited when I actually have a nice mid grade card in my set, like my Ted!

Picked this one up in 2016. Didn't realize I'd been working on this set quite so long

This is the first round that I can't play, though if anyone comes across a signed Howe Fox, I know someone who is looking.

That stinks Scott. Just read his story, what a tragedy. Is there any known 53 Topps Autos of him? Poor guy...didn't deserve that.

Here is my Howie...could use an upgrade...

There are two in PSA/DNA's population report, but I haven't seen hide or hair of them. I've seen signed copies of his 1954 Topps, his 1952 Topps, and every one of his Bowman issues, but never a 1953 Topps.

Scott, are there known, autographed examples of all cards from the 1953 Topps set, or are there some that are not known to exist?

There are known examples of all of them, though there are four (Fox, Vern Bickford, Les Fusselman and Bill Norman) that I personally have never seen, either in a collection or up for sale.

It's remarkable that you have 263/274...that is insane.

Thanks John, it certainly has been a labor of love putting it all together. But I've enjoyed the journey. Of the 11 I need, there's the four I mentioned that I've never seen, and three others (Dick Kokos, Jim Gilliam, and Johnny Riddle) that I've only seen once. Then of the last four, three of them (Mantle, Billy Martin, and Stachel Paige) are readily available, I just haven't pulled the trigger for a few reasons, these days cost among them. The last one, Vern Stephens, I first saw at the end of 2020, and since then three of them have gotten away from me.

jayshum · #**200** 03-17-2022, 07:23 PM

I would guess that an autographed Mantle or Paige would be very expensive. Around what would they go for?
