I honestly never thought I'd be able to grab these cards in such a short period, but I guess I got lucky for the most part?

You are almost there! I’m going to need to make a decision on 52 topps pretty soon. There are only 6, what I have deemed “notable” players left on my needs list: Joe Nuxhall, Frank Crosetti, Billy Herman, Dick Groat, and Smokey Burgess. After that, it’s all high number commons left for me, other than that guy from Oklahoma. So, I need to decide what to do about the Mantle. If I’m never going to complete the set, do I really want to spend a few thousand dollars on commons? If I am going to go after the Mantle I need to start saving and need to sell almost all my non 52 high dollar cards to generate some cash.
I saw a decent looking PSA 1 Mantle on eBay last week for ~$35k or best offer so prices do seem to maybe be coming back down a little?
I just don’t know. Decisions decisions.
