This one is a luxury item not intended to be broken up; would you break up a diamond tennis bracelet into smaller pieces? Definitely no money in breaking it due to the heavy likelihood of way off-centered cards.

To buy that that lot I would have to install a security system in my home for that piece alone. High or low number multiple packs from 1952 Topps is a huge find could be said a holy grail of sports wax pack finds.

Raise the Topps!
Maybe it's time for Robert Ballard to take his fleet of submersibles and search for the 'wreck' of all the boxes of '52 Topps high numbers dumped into the Atlantic. Perhaps cellophaned bricks are patiently waiting beneath the waves.

The story goes that Sy Berger was on the barge to personally see the cases dumped into the ocean. I bet if he wasn't on that barge to over see it those cases would have made it back into circulation and 1952 Topps high numbers would not be so rare.
In other words barge company takes the money, tell you I am dumping your cards in the ocean, never dump your cards in the ocean, try to resell the cards and make even more money. I guess the cards had no street value back then. Oh well, that didn't happen but it's fun to think of "what ifs". Last edited by jsanz; 09-30-2019 at 08:30 AM.

And i'll bet that Topps ended up having Card Collectors Company sell off most of the remaining high numbers and create some spurious upwelling in the pricing of same in the 60's by concocting a story they were dumped at sea.

Yea...because they are so readily available and collectors just think they are hard to find.
Guys, it's been 60 years, they've what they are regardless if you believe it or not. Even on Ebay they are holding value. Not to mention maybe one or two dealers have them at shows.

and pretend this is an actual genuine real fact. If there really were cellophaned packs of cards that have been sitting underwater for almost 60 years, would they be salvageable?

Assuming it's true, which is debateable, I think it would be worth having a look.
