1952 Topps -- Card Gallery

Scarborough is on the H&S super set list for 3 version, which include an orange and beige version of his black back. Have never found two sufficiently different black back to add to my set. Maybe such a difference will show up here.

I do have two red backs with slightly different front coloring but not enough to viewed as recurring variants


Carry on....

Al, the H&S list shows 4 variations of Scarborough. For the red back, it says Peach and Lt Peach. Are those the 2 different ones you have?

For black backs, it says yellow and peach not orange and beige, or are we looking at different lists?

Grading costs about $10 a card for commons right? And there is a scale for the higher priced cards, so you pay about 10% of the value of the card. So maybe $5 to $6k to get everything graded?

Almost any Mantle this day and age runs one a $1,000 alone to have graded. Throw in a decent Robinson, Mays and Mathews, to name a few, at todays values, and the cost increases exponentially.

My bad Dale. Here are my two black backs



What I have not found is a difference in the "peach", light v regular, on the reds. Minor color differences in scans on ebay are often influenced by lighting or the quality of the scan/scanner. Thyis is my red, does anyone have a red with lightewr or darker peach ?

For PSA, if card value is $2500-5K, it's $200 for grading, if card value is $5K-10K, it's $500 for grading, $10K-25K it's $1000 for grading and $25K-50K is $2000 so as Dale said, it adds up for the Mantle, Mathews, Mays and Robinson these days.

That red back looks pretty peachy Bob

Con Dempsey is the first Phillies card we have posted, and it is one of the first 1952 Topps cards I purchased. When I got back into collecting in the mid 90s, I was fortunate that my mother had not thrown out my childhood collection, so I still had all my Topps sets starting from 1975 and on. I first decided I wanted to put together sets going back to 1968, the year I was born. Once I finished those, being a lifelong Phillies fan, I decided to collect all the Phillies cards from the Topps sets going back to 1951 so the start of my 1952 set was all of the Phillies in the set. I eventually moved on to putting together all of the Topps sets, then Bowmans, and continue to find new sets to work on now.
