Got my white whale!

I was gifted 1k by a family member and they told me to "Do or get something nice for myself." This is a card I have wanted for a while but couldn't afford it.

Just came in the mail today and I am stoked. Surface wear and scratches but good centering, great color, and no creasing!
Had to share!

Very nice, and that is solid centering for a '52 Topps. Congrats!

Looks great, Chris.

Congrats on getting your white whale. :)

Congrats!

Right about now, you probably feel like Frodo after he destroyed the ring.

But I'm sure you'll get the itch to chase down another white whale soon enough.

Thanks guys. And FYI it was $880 so I still had enough to do something else that made me happy.... take the wife out for a really nice dinner :)

Don Corleone was real mad when that ring was destroyed.
