Mantle acquired!
Big update on this post and a huge thank you to sportscardpete. Pete reached out back in October in response to my post and we began working on a deal, which turned into an old fashioned three team trade (thank you, Don, as well).
Long story short, we met at LaGuardia today and I am now the proud owner of this 1952 Mantle, which concludes my Topps complete set run from 1952-2025.
I never thought that goal would be achieved but this is yet another example of the power of Net54 and a spotlight on some of the incredible collectors here. If there is a card you want, get creative, throw out some whacky proposals, make relationships, and you never know what will happen. I love it here.
