A Bird in the Hand...
Just the other day, I found myself in this situation. I had saved up some, so I could be competitive in the "Bill Mastro" collection that ends this Wed & Thur. I was hoping to win maybe two or three pieces when I came across this really sweet 1952 Mantle TYPE 1 photo by Don Wingfield.
I fought with myself for the better part of a day until I finally pulled the trigger on the Mick. So now, I will be looking to win one nice piece. So that got me to thinking that this topic might make a good thread. Alright then, let's hear your feelings on the subject as well as your stories, good and bad alike. Here's what I settled for... 1951MantleWingfield.jpg1951MantleWingfieldVerso.jpg

all of the time
I do this all of the time on the card side. I have to try to stay focused or I will go crazy. Many times I have something in my sights and something else comes along that I buy instead. I guess it's part of collecting. The main thing I wanted to say is love that photo and love the back stamps too!!

It's an ongoing dilemma, Jimmy....
I decided to take the opposite route this time, and have had "blinders" on since the Mastro Catalogue came out. There's just too much stuff in there, that is right up my alley. If I come out of it with just 1 or 2 pieces, I'll be thrilled. Some of the prices are already insanely high, with 3 - 4 days still remaining  Just wanted to add congrats on that great pickup... that is an "epic" early image of Mantle... simply a classic photo!
