This is an outstanding example of Bowman’s classic baseball issue from 1952. The set, complete at 252 cards, showcases beautiful artwork similar to the 1951 Bowman issue, and contains the 2nd year cards of Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, along with many other stars. Key cards include #1 Berra (PSA 6), 4 Roberts (EX-MT), 5 Minoso RC (EX-MT), 8 Reese (EX-MT), 11 Kiner (EX+, oc), 21 Fox (EX+, oc), 23 Lemon (EX-MT), 43 Feller (PSA 7), 44 Campanella (PSA 6), 52 Rizzuto (Ex), 53 Ashburn (EX-MT, oc), 75 Kell (EX-MT), 80 Hodges (PSA 7), 101 Mantle (PSA EX MT 6), 115 Doby (EX-MT+), 116 Snider (PSA 6), 142 Wynn (EX-MT, slight oc), 146 Durocher (EX-MT+), 156 Spahn (PSA 5), 162 Irvin (EX+), 196 Musial (PSA 4), 217 Stengel (EX-MT+, oc), 218 Mays (PSA VG EX 4), 232 Slaughter (EX-MT), and 252 Crosetti (EX+, slight oc). Condition is outstanding, with 30% NM or better (with many NM-MT and worth grading), 45% EX-MT, 20% EX to EX-MT and 5% only slightly lesser. About 10% of the cards are slightly to moderately oc, mostly in the high numbers. Overall, a very attractive mid- to-high grade set of this classic Bowman issue! Total of 252 cards.
