An incredible piece of baseball history is now in the hands of a new owner!  A brick of EIGHT sealed 1952 Topps baseball wax packs was sold this week. The big questions are HOW MUCH and WOULD YOU OPEN A PACK? 

Our good friends over at [Baseball Card Exchange](https://www.bbcexchange.com/) confirmed this morning that a collector took home an AMAZING brick of sealed wax packs from the iconic 1952 Topps baseball set!  The BBCE owner, Steve Hart, confirmed today that **EIGHT packs of '52 Topps Topps baseball cards** was purchased from their store but the buyer wishes to remain silent.

This blog is sponsored by [**JUST COLLECT **](https://www.justcollect.com/)where we specialize in buying vintage cards, autographs, and collections.  If you have any 1952 Topps cards or any of [THESE](https://blog.justcollect.com/just-collect-is-ready-to-buy-your-sports-cards) cards, those are are on our BUY LIST if you're interested in selling!

BBCE brought the 8 packs for the last National Show in 2019 and the display drew plenty of buzz in the industry.  The packs are most likely from Series 1 and could contain mint cards of Hall of Famers Bob Feller, Duke Snider, Enos Slaughter, or the highly-sought card #1 in the set - Andy Pafko.  According to PSA, there are no Pakfo cards graded higher than an 8 (out of 10) and one of the three-known cards graded an 8 [sold](https://www.psacard.com/auctionprices/baseball-cards/topps/andy-pafko/auction/259682) for over $95,000 back in 2007. 

We know for certain that Mickey Mantle's rookie card won't be in these packs; Mantle's rookie resides in the high-number 6th series packs.  We told you the crazy [story](https://www.justcollect.com/baseball/sets/1952-topps/) about most of those packs being dumped into the Atlantic Ocean so only a few packs that could hold Mick rookie are known.  There still a chance at some high-grade cardboard gold going to a new owner in the packs sold this week.

**HOW MUCH?**

The price at the 2019 National WAS **$575,000**.

We know the sports card industry has been HOT lately; we can only assume this asking price has increased quite a bit since 2019.  However, we're not quite sure what the cost was yesterday as the buyer wants to remain anonymous.  Just look at those packs, though; it's like a time capsule from almost 70 years ago.

**WOULD YOU OPEN ANY OF THE PACKS?**

So. Many. Questions.

1. Will the owner open a pack?!

2. Will the owner open a pack?!

OK, so I have two questions and they're both the same.  

I know how hard it is to resist a pack of 1989 Topps that set me back fifty cents; can't imagine walking by 1952 Topps wax packs daily and not opening at least one.  How about YOU? If you owned EIGHT packs, would you open one?

**Let us know if YOU would open one of the packs:**

**WE PULLED A MANTLE:**

We had the chance to open a 1955 Bowman pack live on the main stage at the National with our sister company, [Vintage Breaks](https://vintagebreaks.com/index.php), and we pulled a MANTLE!  If you want to rip packs be it from the 50's or current, come check out Vintage Breaks!
