1952 Topps

In the year 1952, the largest baseball card set of the time was created by Sy Berger and Woody Gelman through the Topps Gum Company. Consisting of 407 cards, the 1952 Topps set was released in two sequences, with the first being cards 1-310 and the second being cards 311-407. Each of the cards in this set displayed an image of the player, stats, playing records, and team logos. 

Following behind the 1952 Topps set, the 1953 set is known for its vivid colors and realistic nature among all other trading cards.

Still seeking improvement from the brilliant colorized cards of the 1953 set, Sy Berger sought a new design for his cards. Like the 1952 set, colorized photographs would still be used, but a black and white action shot would also be incorporated.

Because of the great success with the dual-image concept implemented in the 1954 set, the 1955 Topps set also displays an image of a player profile with an action shot on the front of each card. While the action shot in 1954 was black and white, this year’s set features a colorized action shot.
