Better Investment: '51 Bowman Mantle or '52 Topps Mantle?

Did you consider a high grade 52....Bowman as an alternative? Beautiful card and might be a good option considering the $ you are looking to spend.

That's a good idea, however I just really don't like the look of the card nearly as much as the other two. If I'm dropping this much on a card, it has to be special to me and the '52 Bowman just is not. Thanks again for the suggestion though!

This was kind of fun reading thru. I believe we know what the better investment turned out to be.

52 Topps Mantle. It is always the last card a collector what's to sell!!! I'm talking at least a Centered 4+ or better.
