Offered here is a 1952 Topps Baseball Complete Set w/ Mickey Mantle Rookie HOF PSA 1 card.
The owner of this set has many great memories about the pursuit of his first complete set. He had put together the first 310 cards of the 52 Topps set by buying a nickle pack of cards every time he behaved himselfwhile food shopping with his mom. He lived in Lynbrook, Long Island and he traded cards with his friends to complete the first 310 cards, as a ten year old. All his friends and he were waiting for the last series to come out.They checked dozens of stores with no luck.Then, in October, he saw a box of last series cards. The store owner said he would only get that one box.The 10 year oldran to the food store where his mother was and begged for more than the usual nickle. He was able to negotiate for 35cents. That 35 cents bought 7 packs containing 35 cards and seven sticks of gum. Thosethirty five cards included almost all the the best cards in the set, Mantle, Robinson, Campy, Mathews, etc. Even though the seller only lived 15 miles from Topps headquarters in Brooklyn, he or his friends never saw a high number card or pack again. It was 25 years later that the seller finally saw a set of high numbers. He bought the set, keeping the cards he needed for the set and saleed the rest in a Trader\'s Speaks ad. He ran dozens of full page ads in the Trader\'s Speaks and Sport Collector\'s Digest in the 70\'s. He opened a card shop in 1980, one of the first 20 shops in the country.
