Thanks I appreciate that. I will have no problem finishing out 53 and on - there are a couple of 4 figure cards I still need from 53 on but not many - 53 Mantle, 54 Aaron (only 54 I have left), 55 Clemente - that might be it. I guess 53 Paige is close to that number but I have the 53 Jackie and Mays and every Mantle from 56 on.

52 is a different story - I put $25 per check away for the mantle - got around $2500 in there. I told my wife when I retire I'll work an extra 6 months past normal retirement age to buy it. Was hoping to finish out the run by then. That gives me just under 20 years. But I still need every other high number. So we will see but it could be doable.
