Red Man baseball cards were the first national sets of tobacco cards produced since the golden days of tobacco cards in the early part of the 1900's. The 1952 Red Man Tobacco set is the rarest and hardest to complete of the four years that the cards were issued.
My set was once rated All-Time Finest on the PSA Registry, a listing of all the top baseball card sets. I retired my set after being ranked the best 1952 Red Man set for five years in a row 2002-2006. In 2002, my set was recognized as the top set in its category of regional sets.
In 2007, I began having my collection re-graded by Sportscard Guaranty(SGC), the company I consider to be the best in the hobby.
This set now consists of the very best cards from my old 1952 Red Man set combined with the very best cards from the Tony Conte collection which I purchased in 2008. It is now the #1 1952 Red Man set on the SGC Registry, and in 2010 won the SGC Best of Registry Award.
I plan to continue upgrading this set in SGC 88 or better.
