[QUOTE=tedzan;2231140]1st.....as a dedicated "SET collector".....Yes, this card is '"OVER-PRICED" (and so are most other Star cards in this hobby, nowadays).

"OVER-HYPED"....as a long-time Yankees fan, who saw him play, 1951-1968, I do not think so. Mantle generated a special excitement
very similar to Babe Ruth.

2nd.....I guess I'm one of the few guys on this forum who have experienced the thrill of pulling a Mantle card from a TOPPS wax-pack
in the Fall of 1952.

The two Mantle cards from my Master 1952 TOPPS set......

Type 1 .................................................. .............��............. Type 2

Let's not forget Ted, Your type 2 Mantle was cracked out of the slab by some numbskull and put into a new SGC holder. And now resides in my collection

Not centered, but I'm more than happy with it for what I paid for it.
