As for the grade not mattering the more you collect i have the exact opposite as i find most topps and bowman cards so relatively easy to locate that they only truly become something special if they are in the finest of grade as finding a copy of almost any topps or bowman card is really no big deal.

Alan Rosen kept the 1952 Mantle that he felt was the best one out of his find. I have always wondered where that one ended up or if this is it. It makes sense that Marshall would have the best one (on the market).

I thought Marshall's originated with Mark Murphy and was David Hall's at one point, although I suppose ultimately it could have come from the Rosen find.

I was speaking in terms of it not mattering to the garden-variety vintage collector such as myself who cannot afford to spend multiple millions of dollars on a single baseball card. Folks like Marshall Fogel, Mark Murphy, David Hall, Bruce McNall, Ken Kendrick, et al. don't have this problem.
