Thanks for letting me know, Orlando.
Irv, I understand. They are pricey. You know, many prewar collectors chase T206 exclusively knowing that they will never have a "complete " set due to that set's Big 4. It is ironic, when it comes to '52 Topps, it isn't necessarily the Mantle alone that I like. There is just something about the look of the cards, the use of the colors that draws me in. It would take me forever, but I could probably manage the rest of the set in lower to mid grade. But I have the curse of being a completionist and just couldn't handle not being able to finish.
