On several occasions and in several places we have written about the magnitude of our "Texas Find " an enormous collection of cards ranging from 1948 through 2007 consigned by a wonderful family we met last Spring. Initially part of the collection of a gentleman who passed on nearly ten years ago it primarily included complete card sets. However one of the collector's true passions was building a set of signed 1952 Topps many of which he obtained in person. After pulling together the entire collection and sorting the "loose" cards we discovered more than 600 autographed '52s some in triplicate obviously to be used as trade bait with other collectors. Many of the signed cards have been sold individually in our last two auctions including most of the rarities. At the same time we have observed the spirited bidding for individual cards with enthusiasm mostly because it is exciting to see autographed cards beginning to come into their own from a popularity standpoint. More and more people are building complete autographed sets and exploring the idea of building autographed vintage sets. The granddaddy of all the signed vintage sets is of course 1952 Topps. Never mind acquiring the valuable Mickey Mantle expensive due to its extreme popularity - there are significant rarities created due to the untimely passing of several of the issue's subjects with several of the set's cards not known to exist in autographed form anywhere. The enthusiasm with which signed '52 collectors are building their sets provided us with an incentive to build one enormous lot of cards - more than half the set complete and autographed each authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA. Never have we seen a collection this large offered all at once. Best of all it includes 50 of the set's elusive high number cards - an unbelievable number to be offered all at once.
