If this has been covered I apologize. A kid who collected and pulled a '52 Mantle from a pack was most likely born between 1937 and 1946 (meaning he was between 6 and 15 years of age). Those men are now 71-80 years old. It is just a sad fact that we are in the era that large numbers of that era will begin to pass away. We may find an influx of '52 Mantles as homes, attics, and collections are cleared out due to their passing. I don't mean to be morbid, especially since I'm getting older myself, but just something I thought might be a consideration.
