Burn your rare cards?
Posted By: tbob
Supposedly Topps took tons of boxes and boxes of high numbered 52 cards and dumped them in the ocean. Mantle was a high number card in that set. I don't know if that story is apocryphal or not but I seem to have heard it more than once over the years. Topps then wised up after the '52 fiasco and started issuing their high numbered card sets in lower numbers because come fall kids were starting to get revved up and buying football cards and losing interest in that year's baseball set.
