The 1952 Topps baseball set is second to none. If you've never held a card from the 1952 set in your hands, wait until one of these is in your personal collection. Each card measures 2-5/8" by 3-3/4” in size. For comparison, a standard-sized card today only measures 2-1/2" by 3-1/2” in size. Topps obtained black and white photos of each player and had had artist renderings don the front of each card. The colors are rich and eyepopping even to this day. The backs of each card have player information, blurbs about their careers, and of course the stats! Remember before the Internet and all of the media outlets we have now? When the only way you knew a player's batting average was by reading the stats on the back of their baseball card.

It's not often a complete set becomes available. The scarcity of the "high numbered" cards makes it difficult to build complete sets of 1952 Topps baseball. Why the cards with higher numbers are more rare than the cards in the beginning of the set is a wild story - the cards were dumped into the Ocean!

In 1952, Topps released their set in multiple series during the baseball season. This idea sounded like a fine marketing tool at the time. By releasing cards numbered 1-80 in "series 1" and not releasing all 407 cards simultaneously, collectors would not be able to build a complete set of cards early in the baseball season. This would keep collectors purchasing cards all season, or so Topps and distributors thought. When Fall came around, collectors were more interested in football. The forgotten sixth series, cards #311 - 407, were disposed of by being dumped into the Atlantic Ocean! Guess which player has the majority of his rookie cards lost forever in a burial at sea? Mickey Mantle. Card #311 is Mickey Mantle's rookie card.
