Addendum: #53 Mickey Mantle autograph is graded NM-MT 8 by PSA/DNA. #244 Willie Mays is NOT included in this set as was stated in the printed catalog.
The autographed card market continues to gain steam in the hobby and this partial set of 1953 Topps Baseball with 146 different signed cards is a can't-miss opportunity for this progressive breed of collectors. Building this set took a serious commitment as almost all notables are represented with their unique signatures. Overall, the card conditions average GD with some VG-EX/EX and a few AUTH or Poor. Autographs are mostly done in blue ballpoint averaging 7/10.
The highlight the coveted #82 Mickey Mantle short print (card GD) with his bold blue marker signature graded NM-MT 8 by PSA/DNA. Other key Hall of Famers include #37 Ed Mathews (VG+ card / 7 auto.), #147 Warren Spahn SP (VG+ card / 7 auto.), #191 Kiner (VG card / 9 auto.), #114 Rizzuto SP (VG+ card / 7 auto.), #76 Reese SP (FR card / 7 auto.), #78 Schoendienst SP (FR card / 7 auto.), #207 Ford (AUTH card / 6 auto.), #54 Feller (PR card / 7 auto.), #41 Slaughter (PR card / 7 auto.), #62 Irvin (GD card / 6 auto.), #151 Wilhelm SP (FR card / 7 auto.), #138 Kell SP (VG card / 8 auto.) and #125 Dick Williams (AUTH card / 6 auto.) Rizzuto, Mathews and Spahn have each been encapsulated "AUTHENTIC" by PSA/DNA; all three appear 7/10 in strength and eye appeal.
Rookies include #258 Gilliam SP (VG-EX card / 7 auto.), #246 Face (GD card / 8 auto.) #273 Haddix SP (AUTH card / 5 auto.) and #280 Bolling SP (VG+ card / 6 auto.). Other keys are #66 Minoso SP (GD+ card / 6 auto.), #86 B.Martin SP (GD card / 6 auto.), #149 D.DiMaggio (GD card / 7 auto.), #154 Groat SP (GD card / 7 auto.) and #162 Kluszewski SP (PR card / 7 auto.).
