I don’t consider a Mantle collection really complete without both 1952s. I had to part with one of mine to assist with a down payment and miss that card. Such is life. With my general collection, I’ve had to decide what level of completeness I was comfortable with. Ultimately, I decided that having one of each imagine would have to be good enough for me. So, I’ve got one of the two 1952 Topps, one of the two 1959 Venezuelans, one of the Pittsburgh Exhibits, etc. I also had to pass on the test issues. So, my master set won’t ever be complete. I have tried to complete subsets like the Holiday Inn matchbooks/postcards, so this was one of the last big projects for me. Hopefully it’s complete, but hard to feel confident with that.
