yea, when i saw the wehmeier psa 4 going for $50 i figured i may be time to start selling my triplicates. just been sitting on them. anyway, my (1952 topps thread apparently died in the sportscards & memorabilia forum) i guess i should have started it in the registry forum. i think i will revive it with a pic. here is a pic for this thread. some have seen it already. only the robinson and one mays are in my first set, the rest are in my set set.
I personally didn't think $50 was to bad for the card. I know they are no where close as far as cheap priceing but 707 lists there #80 at $125 dollars...lol. Anyway I'm pleased with the card. Fantastic pics of your biggies there. Can't wait to score a Mathews someday. Thanks for shareing. ~Steve
steve- i was in no way poking fun at the purchase. i dont want you to get the wrong idea there. it seems all the '52s are strong. i just paid $200 for a psa 6 wehmeier. thats not cheap at all. regards pat
No problem cohocorp and I didn't think you were bashing at all just giveing an example of the other PSA 4 I saw. What is your set or sets name registered under on the PSA registry? Would love to watch them grow. Anyone here going to the Sun Times show in Chicago in the middle of March? ~Steve
steve- the following are the 4 sets i have registered at this time.
under 1952 topps master are... (pj's 1952toppsmasterset) #9th + (1952 TOPPS HIGH NUMBER EXTRAS) #19th
under 1952 topps basic are...(pj's 1952 topps basic set) #25th + (pj's 2nd '52 set hi #'s only) #45th
i only graded the high numbers in the second set. i deleted 32 cards (psa4s) from my master set this morning. i am trying to only have psa 5s in the first 80 cards, the low series. the high numbers are shaping up rather nicely with alot of 6s in the master set. i have about 10 cards on the way so the sets are not updated. one is pee wee reese in psa7.
It's been a while before posting-- forgot my password--found it.
Regarding twinsthreepeat's printing analysis-- The 1st series (1-80) were printed in 2 100-card sheets. There were 40 TRIPLE prints (#s 31-70) and 40 DOUBLE prints (#s 1-30, 71-80).
The Wehmeier #80 was the "last" card (bottom right corner of sheet #1) , and the last card of the 9th row on sheet #2. Also , #80 on sheet #1 had 2 variations- a yellow or orange background with the black back only.
Also it may be known, that grey stock was used in most of the 6 series. In the 3rd series (131-190) they tried an off-white stock, then moved back to the grey stock.
Happy to answer any questions re 1952 Topps- Twinron40@aol.com Ron Hobbs, Tallahassee, Fl
Ron, Great info on the print run. Where did you find that?
Also, Third series greybacks. It was my understanding that they were a canadian release.
Are you saying that topps started printing the third series on the white card stock and then went back to the greycard stock. Any idea of what kind of numbers for the grey card stock? Thanks, Jason
The 3 rd series off-white may have been Canadian issues , but are very rare, and few collectors try to put them into a "Master set". No other series used the off-white stock. The 6 th series used only the grey stock and much of that went to Canada (and the East river).
Ron, I have been looking for years for more third series grey backs. I only have three for my master master raw set. I only that Levi used to have quite a few. and mile auctioned off 47 of them back in 2005. Those went for 8,000+ Know anybody that has some lower grade for sale? Thanks, Jason

starting makeing a dent your set at all yet.
No dent. I've managed to pick up a whole three singles so far including the black back previously mentioned. It's going to be a long and costly process. I'm up for a good challange though. The good thing is that singles are readily available in the PSA 5 - 6 range in the 1st and second series. I Just gotta find the price I'm comfortable pulling the trigger on. I'll definately keep everyone posted on purchases and finds.

Fantastic cards you guys. Cohocorp....that Pee Wee Reese is dynamite. Fsjeter, those are great looking 5's and will be a great start for your set. Thanks for sharening and keep 'em coming!
I have several variation scans in my registry set. You may be interested in viewing them at the PSA Registry. They show , for instance, the differense in the Mantle variations.
these '52s have been bringing very very strong prices recently. i guess more people joined the fray. i am getting outbid on virtually everything recently. ungraded (raw) cards were especially high in the past 48 hours to my surprise.
I agree Cohocorp. I was watching that raw Campy card lastnigth and was hopeing to jump in and take a chance on that one but it went higher than I was comfortable with for a raw one. That being said..it sure looked like a SOLID card that should grade PSA5 or higher and make for a good deal for someone.

Cohocorp When you sold the Campos black star was it on ebay and, if so, was there a SGC 60 up at the same time ? I bought the SGC on ebay and remember a PSA card being up at the same time. I debated which one to go for and I think the one I bought ended first and the PSA card drew enough attention that I got it for less than I expected. Have not seen one come up since.
bishop-- there was an sgc on ebay at the same time, but i cant remember the grade. that seller and i had words back and forth. he was pissed at me b/c in my listing i mention that my campos was a straight cut not diamond. since his was diamond cut, he was all bent out of shape. he listed his after mine but his ended sooner. he also contacted all my bidders saying to look at his auction. real lowlife. he actually contacted my bidders before i revised my listed mentioning the cut, so he went after me first. i think he sold trains for a living. anyway, his sold for about $4000. mine sold for $7000. the smart thing to do was for him to wait 1 week so that mine ended then list his and he would have got alot more $. btw, you got a really good deal on that. congrats.
p.s. i need that damn card for my master set now. at the time i had no intention of doing a master set. it has a weight value of only 1, but will cost alot.
I've been meaning to post on this thread for a bit now just been busy. I bought a lot of 10 graded PSA 6 awhile back from someone who has there set registered on PSA. Felt the winning price was very fair and the cards looked great (all of which I needed) as well as a smooth deal with the seller. Not sure if he posts on here or not but I did get to update my set a bit which was much needed (50 total cards into the set now).
Great set of cards you got back Cohocorp as usual. How are the sets coming for you?
Finally got a Robinson that fit the bill..Haven't bought any '52s for a bit but had to grab this one. Makes me want to concentrate on the set again. Anyone else updateing sets that want to share pic's?
i slowly working on the set (in 4-5-6 range) trying to stay within a budget for each card, and trying to pick up 1-2 cards every 2-3 weeks. their cool looking cards and i probably won't finish it but it will be fun getting them in the mail and searching at stores and shows. i'll work on it slowly as i try to complete my other sets. i'll see where i'm at after a while, i have a snider in psa 5 which i bought raw at a show in detroit, while at school, for 10 bucks, that worked out nicely. just picked up a monte irvin last night, so i have 2 HOFers and a lot to go and i have about 18-20 commons. if i can learn to post pictures i will. i'm going to add my set hopefully this week to the registry, of course i have 1 sgc and 1 gai that i hope to crossover sooner or later.
it was either this set or the t206 monster in low grade so i'll have to pick a couple of those up just to have and work on this one, both great sets
anyway i'm in and will try to keep this thread within the first couple of pages

looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
I've been working on this set in a straight PSA 7 grade for about 4-1/2 years now. I've got this one down to 114 cards left (mostly high numbers) and really enjoy the chase. Unfortunately when I finally catch one it really takes a bite out of the collecting budget. I started a 1953 PSA 7 set at the same time and have that one down to 23 cards. A very nice set without the huge high number series to tackle.
Good luck to any who pursue this goal. I've met some great people in my quest (thanks again David Selznick and everybody else who has helped me along the way). It is an ambitous quest and one well worth the time, effort and expense of completing.

Baseballfan, congrats on your ambitous decision and from one collector to another it truelly is a monster undertakeing. I'm also trying in the 4-6 range and have around 50 cards at this point with three of the big ones (Mantle, Mays and Robinson) and a couple others that would be in the middle price range (Yogi, Slaughter..) and have made the commitment to get the big ones out of the way first and then finish the rest. Keep us up to date.
New to the boards and found this topic interesting. I am working on this set as well. It will take several years, but it should be fun. I'm #21 Mayimbe in the registry (Master).
Attention all 1952 Topps collectors. A real nice group of cards with very reasonable buy it now prices just went up on ebay. I found several PSA 7's for very good prices. I'm not the seller but wanted to let you all know before these disappear.
well got my set listed i think i'm #81 (basic) but i need to add about 10-12 more once i receive them and the people i bought them off of take them out of their sets.
so far so good now if i can learn how to put pics up i would.

Great info on the print run. Where did you find that?

Are you saying that topps started printing the third series on the white card stock and then went back to the greycard stock. Any idea of what kind of numbers for the grey card stock?
Thanks,
