52 Topps Maxwell

Thanks, all. Yes, you can find him but he’s less plentiful and much more expensive than the others in that series. I just wasn’t sure why.

Charley has always carried a bit of a premium due to his popularity. When I was trying to find a copy of his, I noticed the above average price for his card too, and like you, asked here and found out the reasons why.

I'm not sure, however, if his name is spelt Charley, Charlie or if he preferred Charles?

I have always found cards #171 - 180 tougher to find with respect to other cards in this Series (#131 - 190).
And, especially the GRAY backs. For example......







Having said all that....currently, there are about 14 cards of Charlie Maxwell listed on Ebay.

I always thought it was the 180-189 that were printed less. It seems those are harder to find, least in the gray backs.


Maxwell I believe was the edge of the sheet, making it tougher to find centered

I noted above, Charley Maxwell is on the same row as Billy Martin (cards # 171 - 180). My years of experience
collecting and dealing 1952 TOPPS cards tells me these 10 cards were Single-Printed.

Also, you may be correct that the last row of 10 cards in this Series (numbered 181 - 190) were Single-Printed.
