Thanks! I basically blew the entire card budget for the next year, but it really is a stunning card for the grade.

Might look for an upgrade in the future, but not a bad looking card for now:

Thanks! I hated to get rid of the last one (actually the last four of them ), but hopefully I can hold onto this one.

Why'd you get rid of them?

Pretty much because I always needed the money for something else and they were the easiest things to move. It was tough to sell the first one because it was always my goal to own one someday. When I first started buying postwar cards 12 years ago I never thought I'd own a '52 Topps Mantle and now at the old age of 29 I've owned 5 of them. I'd love to be able to keep one for the long haul, but if not I still consider myself fortunate for the opportunity to have owned one, let alone 5 of them.
