The 1952 Topps Pack Story
In 1952, Topps issued the largest baseball card set of the time. There were a total of 407 cards to the set, issued in several series. The set included the first modern baseball cards, complete with player images, team logos, vital statistics, and full playing records. The cards measured 2 5/8 x 3 3/4 inches and featured colorized black and white photos of the players.
The high series of the cards #311-407 came out very late in the season. Card #311 depicted Yankee phenom and future hall of famer Mickey Mantle and was the first Topps card issued of Mantle. Legend has it that Topps had a hard time selling these packs and had so many left that they chartered a boat and dumped thousands of these high series packs into the ocean. And yes, that included packs with the #311 Mantle cards. Because so much of the high series was destroyed, they now carry a premium, as they are the scarcest of the series. To this day, it is still the most cherished and sought after pack in the industry, and has become an industry icon. A true American classic.
