The History of Baseball Cards of the Golden Age - Topps 1952


"On the seventh day, in 1952, God rested having completed his creation, but Sy Berger did not. Sy created the 1952 Topps Baseball Card Set. Topps first major issue in 1952 is regarded by most as one of the greatest sets of all time. The cards are highly sought after by collectors today. The 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle is the most valuable card of the Post-War era. God was very pleased and smiled down on Sy, and all was good ― very good. The dawn of the Golden Age of Baseball Cards emerged and flourished through 1974 when baseball cards were no longer sold by series and could be purchased in complete factory sets."
