Seems like Topps used a blue and red wrapper for high numbers for 1952 and then made a few changes and used them for 1953 5 cent packs. Certainly would seem possible that 52 highs could have been included in the early series for 53 given the wrapper tie between the two years.

It's my understanding that most areas in the Pacific coast and Northwest did not get 1952 Hi #'s in the Fall of 1952. In fact, some areas out your way in California
only got the 1st series (cards #1-80) in the Spring/Summer of 1952.
