1952 TOPPS Hi #'s find
Al Rosen acquired this find in 1986 in the Boston area. It comprised of 4100 Hi # cards (#311-407)....and, 1400 Semi-Hi # cards (#251-310).
Rosen first tried to sell the Mint Mickey Mantle (#311) cards for $3500 each. He had no takers; so, he lowered the sale price to $2000 each, and sold most of this Double-Printed card of Mantle. Furthermore, he put together 21 runs of this set's 97-card Hi # series......15 of these runs were Mint. And, he sold them all at approx. $10K per 97-card run. It's a fascinating story to listen to when Al Rosen speaks of it. Post Script In early in 1987, these same Mantle cards were selling for $10K each. The rest is history TED Z
