The most important part of a 1952 Topps Set - are the high numbers. An interesting fact about this series of cards that includes the most valuable card in the hobby, the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, is that these cards were actually thrown out in the Hudson River in the 1950s. The demand for these cards were so low given that the series had been produced by the time kids were back in school and football cards had started to come out, so many department stores had to off-load the excess product. Today, finding even the Mantle in this 3.5 condition will yield you a return of $75,000-$100,000 on just that card alone. If only we had a time machine...
