So here is what I'm considering do I sell all the beautiful PSA/SGC 7.5's and 8's I have to fund the purchase of a killer EXMT-NRMNT Graded Example of the type 1 52 Mantle? That's the only way I would be able to afford to buy a 52 Topps Mantle in the grade/condition I collect.

I am the Less is more person. I am more inclined to downsize and get the 1 Great.
But Based on your love of Mantle and Your Current Collection. I would probably just sell some of the Mantles (can buy them hopefully in the future since individually they are all less then the 52 Mantle) and buy a 52 Mantle in a lover Grade perhaps a nice 5 to 6 and then have a great looking mantle to go with some of your other nice cards.

But either way cannot go wrong with either choice. Great Cards for the now and the future
