If i'm spending this kind of money, I want the appeal factor high. Really kicking myself in the ass for not pulling the trigger a few years back seeing current prices.

I have used the BST section for multiple purchases, but have not been a seller here yet. It will sting selling off a lot of cards, as I still enjoy collecting and I like what I have. Over the last couple years, i've bought quite a few higher end cards (56 Mantle, multiple 54 Aarons, mid grade 52 star cards, just to name a few) and that amount adds up to lesson the sting of a big purchase. Decision time

Those other cards have gone up more in the last few years than the '52 T Mantle. You're in better shape than you would've been if you were making this change in reverse
