Lot #16: Incredible 1952 Topps Baseball Graded Near Set (406/407) Including PSA NM-MT 8 Examples! - #27 on the PSA Set Registry!

Description

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 PSA NM-MT 8: 5 cards w/#'s 217, 264, 270, 347 Adcock and 382 Jones; SGC 88 NM/MT 8: 3 cards w/#'s 318, 325 and 406 Nuxhall; PSA NM+ 7.5: 1 card, #259; SGC 86 NM+ 7.5: 1 card, #365; PSA NM 7: 52 cards w/#'s 27, 45, 58, 85, 93, 98, 112, 116, 117, 119, 130, 131, 132, 157, 159, 161, 164, 167, 170, 184, 188, 199, 205, 207, 214, 219, 220, 227, 232, 239, 254, 262, 274, 281, 284, 291, 295, 303, 309, 322, 327, 334, 345, 346, 351, 354, 361, 367, 371, 378, 394 Herman and 402; SGC 84 NM 7: 1 card, #362; PSA EX-MT+ 6.5: 10 cards w/#'s 84, 115, 146, 156, 253, 300, 306, 312 Robinson, 338 and 389; PSA EX-MT 6: 305 cards.
