(LOT 74)
1952 Bowman Near Complete Set - All PSA-Graded; Missing Mantle, Mays, & Minoso Offered in Lots 71, 72, & 73

PSA'S #12 RANKED SET!!! The 252-card 1952 Bowman Baseball set retained the card size of 2-1/16" x 3-1/8" used the prior year, but the reception was slightly more muted with the decreased size of the set, the lack of rookie talent in 1951, big name omissions like Jackie Robinson and Ted Williams, and, most notably, the hugely popular Topps issue from that season. However, the allure of the set remains as it is still a colorful issue, and given the 252-card count as opposed to Topps' 407-card release, the 1952 Bowman set is far simpler to assemble in high-grade as we have here. The offered is the #12 ranked set on PSA's Set Registry with a GPA of 7.216.

#12 PSA ranking includes the 3 cards offered as individual lots 71, 72, & 73. Without the three cards the set is ranked #18. 

Near complete with the missing cards #101 Mantle (71), #218 Mays (72) and #5 Minoso (73) offered as the previous three lots. All PSA-graded, this amazing group features one PSA 9 MINT example, two PSA 9 OC, 55 PSA 8 NM-MT, nine PSA 7.5 NM+ and 182 PSA 7 NM issues. Hall of Famers include #s: PSA 8: 11 Kiner & 21 Fox; PSA 9OC: 146 Durocher; PSA 7: 1 Berra, 1 Berra, 4 Roberts, 8 Reese, 23 Lemon, 30 Schoendienst, 43 Feller, 44 Campanella, 52 Rizzuto, 53 Ashburn, 75 Kell, 80 Hodges, 115 Doby, 142 Wynn, 146 Durocher, 162 Irvin, 196 Musial, 217 Stengel and 232 Slaughter. A vintage PSA-graded Registry Set with tremendous upside! After subtracting the prior three lots, the balance of the set has a recent accumulative value of over $22,000.00.

MIN BID $5,000
