I hate to buck the tide on this one (well, no, I really don't!), but the endless procession of the '52 Topps Mantles would trouble me. This card is certainly not in short supply, and no one in their right mind would suggest it could even remotely be categorized as rare. Huge demand is keeping its value extraordinarily high in recent times, but I believe it is in a cyclical bubble, as it was in the early '80's to early '90's, after which it fell for a time, then recovered. If I'm right, though, this would mean that Bill will be able to buy it much more cheaply than he now anticipates. This is the kind of item which, while very significant, but not anywhere near rare, has seen cyclical growth in collectible coins.
Best of luck,
Larry
