Search "1953 Topps -reprint, -rp, -archives, -1994"

You'll eliminate the majority of those other listings.

I had no idea you could "-" words out of the listing title. That's going to come so in handy! Thanks for the education.

Ironically, a search for Topps 1953 reprints could turn up an interesting not really reprint Topps issue from 1973. The 1973 set, called a reprint set, features 8 cards in a 1953 format that were not in the 1953 set, and 3 of the pictured players are misidentified. The set is strange and it's purpose unknown, but is scarce and pricey. Here are mine

Thankfully, one day I forgot to use the "-reprint" when searching for some 53 Topps cards and found this listing for $4: 1973 TOPPS 1953 REPRINT #2 JACKIE ROBINSON NMMT *581746
