1) Twould seem strange for a card collector/enthusiast to have acquired mostly cards which he doesn't like that much.

2) Would you not need to really like Mickey Mantle and that particular 1952 card to "do it" anyway? It's a card that's so common that you can select from a plethora of offerings at any time.

I never said anything at all about "cards he doesnt like" so im confused where you got that from. As a collector sometimes you sell stuff in your collection to obtain a grail or something youve been after. Not sure if youve heard that before but its very common. Obviously he likes whatever he has in his collection but sometimes you sacrifice cards you "like" for a card you "love".

Also it is a common card but is it something he'll be able to afford "at any time???". Not sure you really thought out your comments before you posted them but the value of that card continues to go up in value.
