1952 Topps Find......

..........and subsequent horror! 35 cards including Pafko, Feller, Roberts, Snider. All glued to an album and everyone of them with the word retired written in ink across the front.

I cant imagine they have any value at all and thankfully they came to me through a friend that was liquidating an estate. Take a look at the Pafko below! The Snider and a few others have beautiful coloring and edges too bad they are ruined.

Did you remove them yourself? There are safer ways to remove cards from scrapbooks.

I wouldn't say they're worthless, just not worth much.

Senor Pafko. Everytime I see that card now I am going to think of cop out

 

[tooly22]

No, I didnt remove them myself. They were given to me in toploaders by the person that was liquidating the estate. He still had some 49 Bowmans stuck to the page and they had to have used liquid cement because those cards were not coming up no matter what method we tried.

I cant imagine the Pafko bringing $20 can you?

Yeah it's probably worth $20. It's a pretty iconic card.

The thing about the Pafko card is the premium is based on high grade examples only. Even though the books dont really show this.
The card itself is not shortprinted and he wasnt much of a star player.
The card is the #1 card in the set and 90% of the kids kept their cards in number order thus the first and last card in set usually had far more wear than the ones between. Making high grade examples tough to locate.
