Well, I've got another two cents to donate here. My thinking is that the similarities between a set issued over multiple years and the '52 Topps is an indicator of what was actually achieved in 1952.

But limiting the comparison to t206 & '52 Topps ignores the fact that the multi-year Goudey run may result in greater annual sales than the multi-year t206 run. And as far as comparing multi-year issues to '52 Topps - the n172 has some stars, difficulties, subsets, and other attractive features to offer as well.

I really think that by the above definition, '52 Topps stands alone, and a comparison among the other three (and maybe PlayBall) would be more fair.
