These cards originate from a new find of 1952 Topps baseball cards that recently surfaced in the Midwest. Highlights included two examples each for Mantle, Mays, and Robinson, as well as many high numbers. Our consignor's husband collected the cards as a child and, miraculously, nearly all avoided the common fate of being repeatedly flipped or placed in bike spokes. Instead, he carefully stored them in a shoe box, where they remained, untouched, for the past seventy years. The majority of the cards are in mid-to-high grade, with centering the only issue of note for most. Three of the cards (Mantle, Mays, and Robinson) made their hobby debut in our Winter Focus Auction. The balance of the collection, including an EX-MT 6 Mantle, is offered here in this sale.
