Default Which would YOU get?

So I've made some sales recently and have a decent chunk of cash that I can spend on one of my projects. So here's what I'm looking at...vote for the one you'd take!

Option 1 - raw 1952 Bowman Willie Mays in VGEX condition
Option 2 - 1954 Topps Tommy Lasorda RC PSA 8 NM-MT

both would be nice additions to their respective sets. What do you guys think? Vote on the poll and I'll go with the consensus

Either way you're killing me!

I would go for the Mays. A bit bigger fish in a slightly tougher set. I do underastand your dilema though.

Envious as always,
Drew

I voted for the Lasorda. I would rather have the 1951 Bowman Mays since I am a HOF RC collector. But you can't go wrong either way!

I voted for Mays, but based on you sets, I'd think the NM Lasorda would be a tougher get.

Based on your criteria I would definitely go for the Lasorda 8----You can always find a VG/EX Mays anytime!

Personally, I'd downgrade each, and get them both for the same price. However, based on your sets, I'd have to agree with Fred. Go for the Lasorda.

thanks everyone for your input! The poll was definitely pretty one sided but the people who posted made some pretty good points both ways. I've made the purchase and should hopefully be able to post it up next week
