In various locations online and in our auctions we have told the story of our "Texas Find " along with describing the hundreds of autographed 1952 Topps cards that we encountered. The first group of cards were located in a 5 000-ct shoebox in the center of the collector's card room. In that box we discovered hundreds of signed cards including the Frank Campos "black star" variation featured elsewhere in this auction. As we continued sorting through the collection however we would encounter more and more signed cards - mostly 1952 Topps. The owner of the cards was otherwise extremely well-organized and focused about his collection but we were shocked at the sheer number of cards from the set that we discovered as we sorted through this massive collection. Ultimately we counted well over 600 signed '52 Topps cards with many rare examples deceased players Hall of Famers and high numbers. The collector was clearly in love with the set as he assembled one complete set plus a complete low number run along with the hundreds of signed examples. Presented here is an extraordinary grouping of 110 signed 1952 Topps the largest group from the collection that we have offered yet. The collection includes several Hall of Famers and high numbers along with some more difficult-to-find examples. For the sake of consistency we elected to have this entire grouping authenticated and encapsulated by SGC Authentic the autograph authentication arm of SGC.
