1952 and 1953 Topps Cards
Posted By: T206Collector
I have an opportunity to purchase about a shoebox full of early 1950's Topps baseball cards next weekend from a family friend, who has had them since childhood. I had an opportunity to see these cards about 15 years ago as a teenager, and the owner gave me a couple of 1952 Topps commons for my interest, but was not selling (and back then, I couldn't have afforded it anyway). Now the owner is 15 years older and has no one in his family that he wants to hand down his cards to, so he is turning to me, either to buy them outright or help him sell them at a fair price. I am very familiar with the prices of T206 cards, but other than reviewing a price guide, I do not have any real familiarity with early Topps issues. |

$3-$5 for low # 1953 commons with $5 maybe stretching it a little. I'm not as familiar with the 52's but I have bout several 53's. |

These cards are on ebay all the time, although the high numbers not as frequent. Very easy to check the values there. Centering is very important to the value, especially on the 52's. |

It's a standard shoebox, but that is really not what I'm trying to get at. |

Red backed or black backed cards virtually carry no premium with collectors, unless they are trying to make a master set of all cards. As someone who almost had the complete set at one time and then broke it for cash - I am finding it easier to find mid and higher grade cards on the internet but the prices will contiue to rise as they have in the past year. I am just now trying to once again complete the set and I have decided to take a different route than I think most collectors do. I am starting with high numbers first as rough conditioned ones bring at least $50 and most of the time more than that. It is always possible to pick one up on Ebay every now and then for under $50. For example, a thompson high number sold on ebay a couple days ago for just over $50 and I would call the condition about VG or better. Low numbered HOFers go very well on ebay as I have seen very beat up HOFers sell on ebay for $30 or more where I wouldn't have spent on the card as they probably did on the top loader that it was in. The 52 topps set is the best that have produced - in my eyes - and will continue to grow very popluar as people leave the "new" market and try concentrate on the older cards. |

The pricing analysis is basically correct. |
