Each card has been graded by PSA. Presented is a 488-card near master set of 1952 Topps baseball cards. From the tough "Low Number" series to the desirable "High Numbers", the 1952 Topps release is one of the most popular post-war baseball card sets ever produced. It's larger design and bold colors separated itself from the Bowman issues of its time, and collectors still love them six decades later. Constant and meticulous upgrading over the past decade has yielded this stellar, hand-picked assembly.
