Each card has been graded by PSA or SGC. 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... and a must-have for any serious card collector! It's larger design and bold colors separated itself from the Bowman issues of its time, and collectors still love them six decades later. This 406-card near set (missing #311 Mantle for completion) is very attractive and remarkably well-preserved throughout. This top-notch assembly includes: Graded
