Having collected the 1956 & '57 Topps sets when these Mantle cards
were only $50 -100; my advice to you is wait. I fully expect 1950's
high-priced star cards to become more affordable in due time.
We have already seen this with similar 1960's star cards. Its just a
simple matter of "supply and demand". The big spenders in this hobby
are putting their big bucks more and more into vintage cards.
Consequently, these Mantle's (and Ted Williams, May's, Aaron's, etc.)
will inevitably decline in price. What goes up will come down; just a
matter of time........Anyhow, that is my prediction.
