1952 TOPPS Baseball Cards   

How to tell a first series (1-80 print) 1952 Topps Baseball Card pack.

This first series (1-80 print) 1952 Topps Baseball Card pack is recognized as "first series"
by the ad on the back for "Felt Baseball Emblems" and the samples of
Brooklyn Dodger and New York Giants emblems.

Most unopened 1952 Topps Baseball Card packs will be of unspecified series.
An example of the unspecified series pack is shown below.

The Felt Baseball Emblems ad has been replaced with a "New Big Size" ad statement by Topps
Cards in the unspecified series packs could be cards from any of the print runs.
They are most likely to contain cards made after the first print run (1-80).

Very late in the print run, Topps came out with the blue red wrapper.
The cards in this wrapper in all probability contained high numbered series only.
 

The 1952 Topps Baseball card 1˘ pack carried over the front design on the back
with no statements or offers.
