Collection of 64 cards from 1952 through 1955 Topps issues, including several Hall of Famers.  Though the eye appeal of most of the 1955 cards is in the EX+ range, many of the cards have been damaged by a well-meaning family member who inserted many of the cards into nine-pocket pages that were too small for the larger-sized Topps cards.  The result is many cards that appear EX at first glance but suffer from wrinkles or light creases, or from edge wear from being forced into the pages.  Conversely, some of the cards were individually stored in semi-rigid top loaders, sparing the damage.  As a result, the collection grades approximately 15% EX, 25% VG/EX, 30% VG, 17% GOOD, 10% FAIR, with several miscuts, a few lesser, and a few stronger than EX.

Collection includes the following:  1) 1952 Topps (10 cards): #195 Minoso (VG), 202, 213, 215 (3), 216 Ashburn (HOF - F), 219, 243 (Doby - G), 247; 2) 1954 Topps (2 cards): #82, 85; 3) 1955 Topps (52 cards): 161 (2), 162, 165 (2), 166 (2), 167 (2), 168, 169, 170 (2), 171, 172 (2), 193 (2), 174 (2), 177 (3), 179 (2), 181 (2), 182, 184 (3), 185, 187 Hodges (G - Miscut), 188 (2), 189 Rizzuto (HOF - F), 190, 191 (3), 192, 193 (2), 197, 200 (2), 202 (2), 205 (2), 206. 64 cards total.
