1952 Topps Mid-Grade COMPLETE MASTER SET w/ High-Numbers Mickey Mantle SGC 3.5

Many collectors’ pick for the greatest post-war baseball release of all time – and one of the most celebrated productions across all sports – the 1952 Topps set revolutionized card collecting. Home to Mickey Mantle’s iconic #311 and an eye-popping selection of other all-time great printings, the set’s gorgeous Sy Berger design and enhanced checklist help set it apart from its peers, creating an enduring legacy that only gets stronger with age. Presented here is the rare opportunity to own a complete 1952 Topps master set, with each card graded and authenticated by either PSA or SGC. It includes all of the marquee cards and variations that make this one of the most remarkable sets in sports history. Highlighting this offering are legendary printings of some of the game’s most beloved players, rare variations, and high-number examples that maintain the mid-grade standard of the rest of this master set – an impressive, rarely-seen feat considering their short-printed scarcity. An SGC 3.5 Mantle, PSA 6 Willie Mays #261, PSA 6.5 Jackie Robinson #312, PSA 7 Roy Campanella #314, and PSA 6 Eddie Matthews #407 are all part of this astounding collection. This lot of 491 kicks off with cards #1-80, each of which was printed with both a Red and Black back. Both versions of each of those cards are included in this master set. Other noteworthy variations include three versions of each of the #48 Joe Page and #49 Johnny Sain cards – Red back, Black back with the correct bio, and Black back with the swapped bios. The winning bidder will also land an example of the rare Yellow Tiger Frank House #146 variation and a PSA 7.5 example of the famous Frank Campos #307 Black Star on back version. Only 73 total examples of the Yellow Tiger House have been assessed by PSA, and just 142 examples of the Black Star card have been graded by the service, with this set’s example one of two PSA 7.5s with only six graded higher. Time, shorter print runs, and unsold stock that was later dumped into the Atlantic Ocean have only heightened interest in these illustrious issues. This month’s Premier Auction offers a chance to obtain one of the most coveted collections of baseball cards ever produced in what might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
