For whatever reason, 1952 Topps high numbers were ordered here in the same quantities as the lower series. Not that it matters - the second anyone finds a bunch they immediately list them on eBay and send them south of the border.... :)<br /><br />The hockey sets didn't ever have that the same way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908473604389629956.post-65560788673516451682011-09-09T12:37:35.742-05:002011-09-09T12:37:35.742-05:00Back when they printed baseball cards in releases ...Back when they printed baseball cards in releases over the summer, and *supposedly* printed fewer of the higher numbers... I sometimes wonder. I haven't done anything scientific, mind you, but just looking through something like checkoutmy cards, there is no shortage of high-numbered 60's cards available. There's just many as low-numbers. I think it's a conspiracy.Anthony Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235433322648199652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908473604389629956.post-28981102713943679172011-09-08T13:31:30.584-05:002011-09-08T13:31:30.584-05:00I hate artificial scarcity.

I don't know whether it's the same in baseball, but in hockey, the short-prints are generally rookies, 90% of whom will never be impact players but still cost $5 a pop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908473604389629956.post-54103006506317939402011-08-03T16:01:33.943-05:002011-08-03T16:01:33.943-05:00I 100% agree with you!

And don't even get me started about the short prints in Heritage and A&G.
