About the Set
The 1953 Topps set is an iconic treasure trove bursting with baseball legends like Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle. Overall this is a lovely VG+ condition set with a total of 64 graded cards including 8 on-card autographs. The raw cards average VG, with some better and some less. Compared to the last 1953 Topps set we broke, this one is slightly more affordable while still boasting a nice selection of graded HOF and tough high number cards.

How it Works
For those not familiar with breaks, participants purchase a spot which guarantees them one random card from the set. After we fill the list of participants and payments are collected, the list will be randomized and each spot will be assigned a random card from the set. A spot will hit the Mickey Mantle, a spot will hit the Jackie Robinson, ect.
The randomizer will use 2 dice, with a 9 roll minimum, and will be performed by a trusted video runner live. The video recording and link to the randomizer results will also be posted immediately afterwards. We always schedule randomizer runs at least 24 hours in advance, and livestream them on both YouTube and in our Facebook Group. Once the break fills, expect an email from us with the break date and time.
Skunk Protection
What's Skunk Protection? All spots that hit raw cards in the main break will be entered into a separate, second randomizer run that will run the day after the main break.
