I recently found a 1965 Federal Trade Commission document detailing anti-trust allegations against Topps.
The FTC findings included baseball card sales figures for Topps (1952-61), Bowman (1951-54), Goudey (1933-42), Fleer (1959-63) and Leaf (1960).
There's also lots of other interesting and fun revelations and details for vintage card collectors.
I'm running a summary on my blog, linked below.
I posted the Topps sales figures on May 12. The Bowman will go up tomorrow, the Goudey on the 18th and Fleer/Leaf on the 21st.
It's fun to think that the next time a PSA 10 1952 Topps Mantle is sold, it may well bring in more money than Topps made on ALL of its baseball card sales in 1952.

A case was 24 boxes containing 24 nickel packs, $28.80 retail.
Earlier wholesale pricing should be available when others chime in.
Also just found 1951 Topps Hocus Focus with the same 24-24-5 $28.80 retail also priced at $17.28.
So it's probably safe to assume that nickel packs from 1952 to 1962 would be priced the same way.
576 packs per case x 46296 cases = 26,666,496 packs
Sorry, can't go any further, I don't know how many cards were in each pack.
