1952 mantle topps

[onlythefinest2327]

Thanks for everyone's reply. I knew that I could come here for helpful ideas. I'm going to the national and I am going to be looking around there. This card is expensive for me(since I'm not rich) ill be taking my time with it. Centering is the biggest concern of mine and won't pull the trigger until I feel comfortable. I have a few other mantles mostly mid grade 5/6/7 but nothing to brag about. I can spot some fakes for the most part but some I have trouble with. I've visited the 707 booth at a few shows, great cards but there prices do seem a little high. Ill be posting more on here, so I look forward to getting to know everybody. Thanks again.

If you go to the National, 707 will have a large table there and you will likely see more 52 Mantles there than all the other tables combined. Levi Bleam, the owner, will be wearing a large and ugly top hat. He is the most knowledgeable person on the planet about the 52 Mantle. His prices tend to be high but he sells only the real deal. He is friendly and if you tell him about your quest he may have some insights for you. I got both of mine through him, one of each "version" as Adrian put it. It, along with the Thompson and Robinson, was a double printed card on the same sheet and has subtle differences on the front and back
