Holiday Auction 2021 Dec 20-Jan 8/9

A collection of 225 different 1952 Topps Baseball cards is presented. The group is twenty-five pieces short of comprising a "full run" of card #'s 1 through 250. To be clear, each of these cards has had all four of its corners clipped off. Perhaps to fit inside some sort of container, possibly to slot into an album that wasn't made for them, or maybe those corners were just too sharp in someone's hands. Whatever. In deference to the obvious condition liability, the cards retain the full magic of their splendid, "Giant Size" production. All of the colors, all of the mystique ... and all of those stars! Early career renderings of 2022 Cooperstown enshrinees Gil Hodges and Minnie Minoso are present, as well as classic depictions of such favorites as Spahn, Snider, Doby, Berra, Rizzuto, Feller, Ashburn and many others. Missing #'s 3, 17, 57, 68, 71, 81, 86, 132, 137, 138, 141, 142, 161, 163, 164, 166, 169, 171, 174, 175, 177, 185, 189, 226 and 240 to fulfill the #'s 1-250 sequence. Technically Poor condition, but nonetheless desirable!
