Blowout Cards Forums - View Single Post - Any estimate of how many 1952 Topps cards exist per player??

I think I read somewhere that Topps paid each player $125 for their contract, which was higher than Bowman. Cards were $0.01 a piece. Topps would have had to produce 12,500 cards of each player to get back the contract cost. It wouldn't surprise me if the production was 10 times that or higher for well over 100,000 cards for each player.

Now how many actually survived? It wouldn't surprise me if over 50% were kept.
