I know for me personally I need about 90 percent of the high numbers yet, and noticed there is rarely a card that I have in some of these lots.

That's what I've been doing with the high numbers too. Still waiting to snag a bigger name one.

Didn't see those auctions that you're referring to though?

Milestone reached: now halfway through the set!

Latest additions were more commons/minors and some high numbers (up to 13 of those)

Name cards still remaining: Pafko, Spahn, and every meaningful high #.

Avg condition:

Low number big cards: 4.1
Low number commons: 2.5
High number commons: 2.6

Total cost: $4260. Total resale value: $5420

204/407

One major auction going on right now that ends next Sunday, and another one coming up that starts May 15th. I know there are several lots of 1952 Highs. Like Ted mentioned very strong prices so far.

BTW, congrats on getting to the half way point!

This is exactly the type of Mantle I'd ideally like to get (though I don't expect to actually land anything this nice) But it's so hard to pull the trigger at the moment, especially when it's pwcc or probstein. And I don't want to spend this much on one. Even with a price this good.

But if anywhere else was selling it, would have been very tempting

And the highs just continue to evade me.

Another psa 1. Centered $74 and change

Another with back damage over 100!

No relief in this environment!
