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.

The Duke is in the house. I've coveted this particular card for a while.
What a treat to have it in hand.

Recently decided to build a small raw collection of stars from the 1950's-1970's. Below are my pick-ups so far for the month:

Todd, I've always loved that 64T NL HR leaders card with the 4 HOFers
