1952 Topps high numbers were available all over Canada. Every release of Topps sets from the 1950s were. As were Bowman cards, at least for 1954 and 1955.
I purchased cards in Winnipeg from a childhood collection directly from the gentleman who collected them, including '52, '53, '54, '58 and '59 Topps and '54 and '55 Bowman cards.
If you actually look more in to it, there's examples online mentioning Topps baseball cards being sold in Canada in the 1950s, including this collection from Kelowna, BC that contained '52 to '54 Topps cards with many '52 high numbers (Mantle, Robinson, Matthews).....
