1960 fleer and Mantle
A 1960 Fleer set in top condition can demand a pretty good price, especially if you want one with one of the # 80 Martin wrong backs ( there are 3) to complete the set. I paid more that card than some of my Mantles . And my 1951 Connie Mack All Star set that also depicted retired players when issued cost me a bundle to assemble.
Topps has put out a lot of Mantle reprints and they can be found fairly easily on ebay for almost any year. In fact a lot of the 52s and 53s get offered as the real deal.
Mantle has also been the subject of several cards "that never were" distributed at the annual National Card Show, this year...next week...in Chicago. If you take a look at the Kit Young Cards web site, they offer a lot of them for sale
