Lets see your best centered 52 Topps cards.

Thanks Irv!! I am all about the centered 52 cards. Nothing prettier than a centered 52. I’m about 65% finished with my set.

Great cards all and thanks for sharing. Nice to know that some numbers actually DO exist centered!

Not all perfect but here are a few names from my 1-310 run that I think are better centered than most copies out there ...

Yes, you certainly have a point there, Billy.
Good luck the rest of the way.

Dave, great group of cards! I really like the Maxwell and Garagiola.

I know it's not perfect top-bottom, but it's a Herman freaking Wehmeier with great left-right centering. This is about as close as you can get for this card.

Is that a recent pick up, Sean?
One just like it, (if not the same one?) ended a week or 2 ago that I had my eye on but knew it would go for a handsome price.
Surprised, after the fact, however, it didn't go for more.

Congrats if you're the lucky winner.

It's probably the same card, I just bought it two weeks ago. Someone broke a set, and there were two Wehmeiers. I got what I think was the better of the two copies

Sean - nice Herm!

This must be Wehmeier week, because I just got one for my set as well. Mine's a little off-center T/B too, but I can live with it...

Great copy Tom

Hello everyone!

Just now saw this post about 1952 Topps. My collection goes back to 1952, when I bought every 1952 Topps card I own. I was in an area where the 1st 2 series were the only cards we ever saw for sale, and for many yrs thought my set was complete at 250 cards.

Here are just 6 cards I had graded many yrs ago, & my collection is still all original to from 1-250!

Those are some great cards!
Odd, you were able to get the cards you did and not the others but that seems to be the case with other collectors from that era too.

I remember asking Tedz about the 1952 Topps Look N See cards and was surprised to read he had never seen a one during his early collecting days.

I guess it's impossible to stock every city around the globe with cards so they most likely just went by previous sales/popularity from other companies on top of their own and based that on who'd get cards to sell and who wouldn't?

Seeing cards this age that are still with the original owner is a special treat. Among other things, hey are especially vibrant. Thanks for sharing them.
