I can't wait to post them and to actually have the card in hand. As I'm sure is true with many collectors I could only dream as a kid of actually owning a 52 Mantle.

Indeed its a nice one, but Jesse, its much better in the hand and seeing it every day.
I was glad to assist you, and glad you did pull the trigger on it. We looked at quite a few of them. I think you be very satisfied.
When i got mine, i displayed it for a month, then realized how precious it was and put it away in a safe.

Thanks Chris, I appreciate your assistance and advice. I wouldn't have even known to look for that one if you hadn't sent the email.

I've already been looking at the 51 Bowman every day when I get home from work so I can only imagine how much time I'll spend staring at this one. I'm sure I'll hear about it from my wife. She always asks how I can keep staring at the same cards every day.

Congrats, bro! I am in the exact same boat-- once in a while I'll take a card from the bank and spend long stretches at my desk staring at it. What it's ALL ABOUT!

I'm working on getting a website up so I can still look at my favorite cards but have the more valuable ones secure in a deposit box. Just curious, anyone else with an opinion please respond. At what point (in terms of dollar amount) do you feel that one card, or a few high end cards, are too valuable to leave lying around the house?

Several factors
1. What people visit your house and have seen the cards (kids as well)
2. Whom have you told you have valuable cards
3. Do you keep a safe hidden
4. Insurance
I factored all this all in, and came to a conclusion, card over 1k i may want put away, but thats my scenario. I think you have to stash the 52 away in my opinion, but its you to decide how much access you want to it.
Sidenote: I use Photobucket and also save them on my computer to occasinally view the pics. But there are also other great sites.
