The vast majority of vintage baseball card collectors would agree that the 1952 Topps baseball card set is the most important of the post-war era. The presented offering is a low-number run featuring 248 of the 310 cards. Two cards are graded (#37 Snider black back PSA 1.5 and 191 Berra PSA 2), and most of the first series are black backs (76 of the other 79 first series cards are present, no #1 Pafko, 26 Irvin, and 47).
