Lets build a 1952 Topps set.

Downtown1974 · January 31, 2012 3:49AM

I dont anticipate ever owning an entire 52 set, but I thought it would be cool to do one right here with everyones help. Lets post cards in numerical order of the entire set until we reach the Mathews.
Graded, raw, beaters, whatever you have. I think it will be cool to see the set this way.

Rules:

1) You must own the card(s). No ebay pics or borrowing pics from someones registry.
2) Lets try and do this a card at a time or a few at most, that way everyone can contribute.
3) Have fun!!!

I'll start it out.

prthd · January 31, 2012 3:55AM

Great idea! This will be fun to watch.

bobbyw8469 · January 31, 2012 3:56AM

..and if we are card flippers, but currently have in our possession the card currently up for scan, then we can list it?

Downtown1974 · January 31, 2012 4:00AM

<< ..and if we are card flippers, but currently have in our possession the card currently up for scan, then we can list it? >>

Sure can.

123Slider · January 31, 2012 4:25AM

I better go early in this one. Missing an ear so to speak.

WinPitcher · January 31, 2012 4:29AM

I have #20 locked and loaded.

itzagoner · January 31, 2012 4:41AM

and i #10.

neat idea.

WinPitcher · January 31, 2012 4:43AM

Nice Pafko btw, too bad it isn't an 8. With that centering it be a killer.

Dboneesq · January 31, 2012 4:55AM

Hank Thompson is on deck ... who is going to show it?

handyman · January 31, 2012 6:12AM

MBMiller25 · January 31, 2012 9:19AM

Wish I had a 52 Topps card to contribute

WinPitcher · January 31, 2012 9:29AM

What happens if we get stuck and no one has a specific number?

Downtown1974 · January 31, 2012 9:53AM

Couple of nice cards to start this set.

<< What happens if we get stuck and no one has a specific number? >>

I would imagine there are a few members who have the whole set. Just hope that they see this thread. I'll check out my inventory when I get home tomorrow. I have a good number of 52s, especially low #s.

jeff8877 · January 31, 2012 10:39AM

I have number 5...

Jeff

WalterSobchak · January 31, 2012 10:43AM

I cannot help with this one, but it will be a lot of fun to follow!

psychump · January 31, 2012 11:49AM

Who's got Don Lenhardt? Who is Don Lenhardt?

Piggs · January 31, 2012 12:02PM

I found Don. Doug

Griffins · January 31, 2012 12:03PM

<< What happens if we get stuck and no one has a specific number? >>

I've got an uncut sheet and a salesman panel, that will take care of a bunch in one fell swoop!

MattyC · January 31, 2012 12:28PM

Whoops-- didnt see it was card order. I'll dig some up.

jeff8877 · January 31, 2012 12:30PM

Here we go...#5

Jeff

Downtown1974 · January 31, 2012 12:34PM

Jeff...thats hillarious that Jansen guessed the grade. Nice cards everybody!

Piggs · January 31, 2012 12:48PM

I was hoping someone else would post Grady, mine not so good, but we must push on. #6

bigjaco · January 31, 2012 1:45PM

cool idea!

my first '52 will be Campanella and still waiting for the right one... I eagerly await the further updates to this thread.

Stone193 · January 31, 2012 1:48PM

Hi Doug - I look forward to jumping in when I can - the first one is #26 Irvin.

Good idea for a thread!

jwgators · January 31, 2012 1:52PM

Great thread. Can't wait to see more!

Piggs · January 31, 2012 2:13PM

You guys let me know if I'm hogging this thread seriously. I love it by the way. I have to go cover some breaking news for my TV station now so I will be gone the rest of the night. Here's Wayne!

gemint · January 31, 2012 2:31PM

I can't help out until you get to #68.

Piggs · January 31, 2012 4:02PM

Here's my excitement for the night. LOL

Piggs · February 1, 2012 12:36AM

Marsh #8 Redback and Blackback.

cpamike · February 1, 2012 1:10AM

I too wish I had some to contribute and post.

Great idea for a thread. Let's see number #9.

Doug, if you were posting a card every 5 minutes I'd say you were hogging. You are doing a great public service for the board!!!

Dboneesq · February 1, 2012 4:15AM

Who has Robert Hogue? I had a PSA "5" or "6" but sold it last year.

Reljac · February 1, 2012 4:58AM

If we make it through this one, it would be thread of the year in my opinion. Great idea!

Downtown1974 · February 1, 2012 5:48AM

<< Who has Robert Hogue? I had a PSA "5" or "6" but sold it last year. >>

I dont have it. Great contributions so far guys!

WinPitcher · February 1, 2012 6:18AM

Doug post as many as you can, we should try and post 3-4-5 a day I would think.

I'm in for number 20 and Jeff said number 10.

123Slider · February 1, 2012 6:21AM

#11 is my next if no one else has a blazer. SOMEONE FIND #9!!!!!!

TNP777 · February 1, 2012 6:22AM

since Steve already has dips on #20, I'll have to sit on the sidelines until 36 & 37

WinPitcher · February 1, 2012 6:30AM

Sorry Geordi that's the only one I have left.

The sidelines are good, you can find me there most times.

Manofmoe · February 1, 2012 6:47AM

If you guys don't mind a bunch of PSA 2's and 3's I will get some of mine scanned and posted. Great idea!

Downtown1974 · February 1, 2012 7:58AM

<< If you guys don't mind a bunch of PSA 2's and 3's I will get some of mine scanned and posted. Great idea! >>

Heck no....dont mind at all! Condition doesnt matter at all. Its all about contributing what you have.

Dboneesq · February 1, 2012 8:48AM

I have quite a few to contribute as well.

Piggs · February 1, 2012 11:06AM

I have the Hogue card guys but a scan will have to wait till 8pm pacific when I get offf work.

goose3 · February 1, 2012 12:40PM

patiently waiting for 88......my lone '52

Stone193 · February 1, 2012 12:44PM

I have a suggestion - I think the OP might want to list the first 80 - e.g. - and have people sign for which card they would like to post.

26. Stone (Irvin)

Dboneesq · February 1, 2012 2:03PM

<< I have the Hogue card guys but a scan will have to wait till 8pm pacific when I get offf work. >>

Hey Doug ... I had Al Rosen patiently waiting for the past hour. Sorry, but time to hit the sack. I'll see where we are when I get up in the morning.

psychump · February 1, 2012 2:19PM

At this rate it will be May before I get to add my only 52! (191 Yogi!) I can't find my Bob Porterfield! Great thread!!!

prthd · February 1, 2012 2:43PM

I would like to make a suggestion. Personally I would like to see scans of the back of the cards. I would like to learn about each player as we go along. I will probably never own a '52 set and I would like to learn about each player. I was born in '75 so this to me is history. Someone mentioned it ealry about who some player was. You never know we all might learn something in this thread as we go along.

Thanks for the consideration
Dave

Piggs · February 1, 2012 3:43PM

My apologies Doug sorry to keep you and everyone waiting. Meeting ran late, like they ever run short. Just some quick history of the Bobby Hogue card, this guy (card) is very hard to get in top condition. Really hard to find centered and you will see high prices in 7 and 8 condition for this card. #9 is out of the way, now batting #10 Al, Al, Rosen, Rosen.

Dboneesq · February 1, 2012 11:29PM

Some of the autographed 52's I have are Slabbed ... some are raw ... some look nice while others are a little beat up.

Presenting a beat up raw AL ROSEN:

OK YANKEE FANS ... PHIL RIZZUTO is next!

123Slider · February 1, 2012 11:31PM

If someone can post 11 before I get home, go right ahead.

itzagoner · February 1, 2012 11:46PM

done.

Piggs · February 1, 2012 11:54PM

I didn't see that anyone had earlier dibs on Basgall #12 so I'll jump on it. Another very difficult card to find centered (i.e. mine is not) and goes for big bucks in high grade. This card has really good corners and great gloss. Lucky #13 is next!

Lets build a 1952 Topps set.
