1952 Topps complete set

[ALR-bishop]

Ted-- I have all on your list but for all the gray backs. Only have 10 of them and not really pursuing them. I continue to admire your pursuit of them

Bill- great list. Beyond Ted's list I will post the color variant and border oddities I have tomorrow. I do have several on your list, including Woodling, Scheib and the border break Campos as well as the black star.

I have both 311-313 versions, the Kretlows, 2 Houses, and the 2 Campys. In the first 80 it has been my view that many of the front differences are consistent with red versus black backs, like Glaviano , but I have 3 distinct Boones. I have never been able to find what I felt were 2 distinct Fellers or Crandalls, although have heard about them for some time. Will finish up tomorrow when back home

By the way, in it's last editions SCD included the stitching variations in the Standard Catalog , and all 3, particularly the Mantle have front differences as well

Back in the 1980's, we used to shuffle thru "tons" of 1952T cards looking for Gray Backs. Occasionlly, we would find some, and you could buy them for the cost
of a common. Now, as you well know, they are priced ridiculously high. I had quite a few more of them (lower condition than the ones shown in my above post)
and I sold them. At these current prices, why hold on to them


The only 1952T color printing flaw that I once has was Munger with a bright yellow background (instead of it's normal green). I traded it for the Billy Martin gray
back (shown in my above post).

I was really happy about that trade....but, sometimes I wish I still had that yellow Munger card. As, I've seen very few 1952T color printing flaws.

Have you ?

The list of variations is very close however just to keep you guys on your toes a nice variation is on the front of the ever popular billy loes black back lets see if you can see it at one point can all or most of the 1952 collectors meet at a show maybe a national psa is currently reviewing the frank house woodling and scheib articles
