Another sectional highlight would be an incredible collection of cards from the beloved and highly collected 1952 Topps baseball set, including over 30 different cards from the mythical and incredibly desirable run of High Numbers. These cards will greatly enhance any collection of cards from this amazing and most popular of all of Topps card sets! Other important clusters include cards from 1887 N28 Allen & Ginter, 1908 E102 Anonymous, 1909-11 T206 White Border, 1910 E93 Standard Caramel, 1912 T202 Hassan Triple Folders, 1915 Cracker Jack, 1932 U.S. Caramel, 1954 Topps and many other post war Topps card sets.
