Do you think you'll ever own a '52 Topps Mantle RC?

Thanks.....got em all noted and the search continues........


I've got the (3) Boone cards......gotta check on the others to see which ones I have



quick check of my set shows that both of my #31 Zernial cards (black back and red back) have OUTFIELD misspelled ONTFIELD..........are they all misspelled?

I have one (creased and all) that I got 20 or so years ago, because that was one of my goals when I started collecting older cards...and also it was a fraction of what its going for now, but if I started today, I'd doubt I would be willing to pony up the $'s to buy one at current prices...

Apparently so. Guess it was not caught before the change of backs. Maybe the proof folks were too amazed by the front to care about the back

I guess the question for me would be "Do I think I'll ever be able to hold onto a '52 Topps Mantle?". I've actually owned five different '52 Topps Mantle cards over the past couple years, but everytime I buy one some unexpected expense manages to crop up and the Mantle gets sold to cover it (usually at a huge loss ). I just picked up another one so hopefully the 6th time is the charm!

That's really nice color for a 1 Doug. How long will you hold onto this one?

Hopefully I won't have to sell this one unless I'm able to upgrade it in the future, but with my current budget I doubt that will be happening anytime soon. Never say never though, I could always hit the lottery!

I dont think I will ever get the 52T Mantle. I would rather have a nice 52T Mathews and 51B Mantle.
