Nice Jim Rice, Jerry!

And Phil, wow, George Brett looked like a kid, didn't he? I get the same feeling when I look at Robin Yount's early cards. Hard to believe he was a major league shortstop.

Very nice cards, guys!!!

I remember when Topps started their All Rookie team trophies again in 1987. I loved that set. Jose Canseco, Wally Joyner, Danny Tartabull, Robby Thompson, Todd Worrell, Cory Snyder, Pete Incaviglia, Andy Allanson, Bruce Ruffin, Andres Thomas. As a Brewer fan, I was upset to learn that Dale Sveum was selected as the third baseman, yet he didn't get the trophy on his card.

The 1987 set reminded me of the 1962 set a lot.

Hey Joe: Love the cards, but you need to open those scan images in a photoshop-type app and maybe just press a button or two to brighten them up a bit so we can appreciate them.

Why when I click the attachment link does it tell me I'm not logged in, and therefore do not have permission to view it? I am certainly logged in, and I definitely want to see it!

Halp halp!

And let me just say once again, I love this site!!!!! Beautiful cards, guys. I look forward to sharing my own vintage cards with you all soon.

I love when you visit over here. Beautiful sheet. Someday I'm going to finish the 52 Bowman set but for now I can just dream when I see stuff like that. Very nice!

Yeah, thanks, Leon: Always have loved the '52 Bowmans because they were the first set I collected as a wide-eyed kid looking for Boston Braves. Man, opening the five-cent waxpacks at the corner store and seeing all those duplicates of Del Rice, Clyde McCullough, et al, that seemed to always be in the third series packs. Never saw a Mantle or Hodges or any other star, though -- wonder if Bowman was manipulating the contents even that early in the spring.

It has a few small numbers written lightly in pencil on the back. But I've never been very condition sensitive, and the price was right..

Hopefully I won't have to sell this one anytime soon, but my luck hasn't been the best over the years. This is actually the nicest '52 Topps Mantle that I've owned. It's in slightly better condition than the PSA 4 that I had several years ago so either PSA has started grading more strictly during my time off or the seller just got a tough break on the grade.

I have not seen another PSA 2 that nice before. Maybe it was the centering? Either way, gorgeous, clean card with great color. Would take that one any day.

Very nice re-entry card Doug. If you have the means, why not come back to the hobby with a bang!

The only thing I could really see that knocked it down is some light wax on the back. I added a back scan to my original post so you can take a look. It's very light and tough to even notice unless you are looking for it. I had a PSA 5 '52 Topps Mays that had worse wax staining on the back and it wasn't in much better shape than this card.

I'd take that card any day. Congrats on the pickup! My philosophy is to always buy the card, not the holder, and you got a great card.

Thanks, that's always been my philosophy as well. I've always collected low to mid grade cards anyway so the number on the label doesn't really matter too much to me. If I can get a PSA 2 with the eye appeal of a nice PSA 4 without having to pay the PSA 4 price, I'll take those kind of deals all day long.

Default Wow!

How is that a 2? I collect low grade stuff as well. But, man, that is a beauty. I can only hope one day to add such a stellar card to my collection!
