The 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews is the "perfect storm" of postwar baseball cards: a rookie card of a Hall of Famer from the desirable "high number" series of the hobby's premier postwar issue, condition-sensitive due to being the final card in a set. As a result, higher-grade specimens are rare, and quite valuable. This example has been graded NM 7 by PSA, an outstanding card. Vivid color, razor-sharp edges and brilliant white borders add considerable eye appeal despite the centering. 1952 Topps Mathews cards carry a large premium on the few occasions when they are made publicly available, though typically this card is found at auction with much less frequency than other stars from the set.  A spectacularly sharp and clean card from the second series, the final card in Topps' crowning achievement, the monstrously popular 1952 set.
