1996 Topps Mantle Refractors Set Question

Does anyone know why the 1996 Topps Mantle Finest Refractor (or regular Finest) set only list cards 1-19 in the set registry. It lacks the 1952 Bowman which is card #20. I thought perhaps they only listed one Mantle card for each year but if the set is to contain each regular issued Mantle (no all-stars, multi-player cards, world series or other special cards) than why would it not have the 1952 Bowman listed in the set?

    It think #20 is actually the 97 finest id have to go dig but I think thats correct

    I thought that also but the back of the card says "Mickey Mantle Commerative Card #20 1996 The Topps Company, Inc. The PSA label also says "1996 Bowman Mantle #20....1952 Reprint - Refractor".

    dunno just dug through mine or atleast whats within reach i see all kinds. I see what your talkin about found some with 96's with 20 on up maybe its third series packs? I though only the refractors came in the 2cnd.

    also saw a # in the 40's with 97


    Isnt card #1 51 bowman and #2 52 topps. I have them all on up just not in one spot.

    Do you collect them any dups for trade, just wonderin.

    I'll look into it tonight

    No dubs. Just have about 12 of them graded 9 and thought about putting on the registry.

    I think they saved the 1952 Bowman reprint/Finest/Refractor as a special insert in Bowman products. Cards 1-19 (the "regular" Mantles) were in 1996 Topps. Cards 21-36 (the subset Mantles) were in 1997 Topps.

    I currently have the regular Finest sets of both Mantle sets and Mays. All I need now is Clemente/Ryan/Aaron. image

    As I am sure some of you know, Walmart has a 10 pack of 2008 Topps packs that comes with a refractor of the 1952 Topps Mantle RC. In case you guys are curious is it numbered "MMR-52" and it is dated 2008.

    Clear Skies,
