Building a complete 1952 Topps set is kind of like climbing a mountain; the hike becoming exponentially steeper as the set rating increases. And with the incredible boom in prices across the board over the past few years, the elevation of EVERY mountain has increased to where it has become unpassable for many collectors. If you have the means but don't want to devote the time to building a solid 1952 Topps set from scratch, this near-complete set (sans the Mantle) is a smart way to get there. Maybe you've already got Mickey's coveted card #311 and want to build a set around it. In either event, the featured collection of 406 cards is the way to go. A good portion of the set, 121 cards with all of the high-numbers, are graded as follows: PSA 8 OC (1 card) - #351. PSA 7 (6 cards) - #91 Schoendienst, 248 Lemon, 318, 349 (MC), 365 (MC) and 407 Mathews (OC). PSA 6.5 (2 cards) - #88 Feller and 326. PSA 6 (22 cards) - #26 Irvin, 59 Roberts, 65 Slaughter, 129 Mize, 175 B. Martin, 216 Ashburn, 277 Wynn, 313 Thomson, 319, 323, 341, 346, 356, 357, 362, 366, 372 McDougald, 374, 392 Wilhelm, 394 Herman, 395 and 404. PSA 5.5 (5 cards) - #33 Spahn, 246 Kell, 359, 363 and 383. PSA 5 (46 cards) - # 1 Pafko, 191 Berra, 200, 227, 243 Doby, 315 Durocher, 317, 322, 324, 327, 328 (MC), 329, 330, 333 Reese, 335, 337, 340, 342 Labine, 344, 347, 348, 350, 352, 354, 355, 358, 360, 361, 367, 368, 369 Groat, 370, 371, 375, 378, 381, 385, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 397, 398, 405 and 406 Nuxhall. PSA 4.5 (5 cards) - #11 Rizzuto, 37 Snider, 261 Mays, 338 and 377. PSA 4 (30 cards) - #2 Runnels, 36 Hodges, 250, 280, 310, 312 J. Robinson, 314 Campanella, 316 (MC), 320, 321 Black, 325, 332, 334, 336, 339, 345, 353, 364, 373, 379, 380, 382, 384 Crosetti, 386, 393, 396 D. Williams, 399, 401, 402 and 403. PSA 3 (2 cards) - #331 and 343. PSA 2 (2 cards) - #376 and 400 Dickey. The rest of the set remains consistently mid-grade at approximately 30% EX/MT, 50% EX and 20% VG//EX or lower.
