1952 Topps Mantle - show them
 

I was reading another post where people were talking about selling off part of their collection to finance a 1952 Topps Mantle. It got me to thinking, how many people on this board actually already own that card. I think it would be neat to get a rough estimate of how many people have one in their collection, so if you have one could you post a photo of it please? I'd like to see how many are out there.

Here's mine:

I tried to sell my collection to buy one roughly ten years ago but had no luck. I later managed to grab these—I sold the 52 Topps on the right during a pricing bubble to help fund a home purchase but have the other securely stored in that home as we speak :)

Poll suggestion
 

I think you might get more information with a poll - both from people who may not want to post a pic of their card as well as the option to be able to say "I don't own the card" to see as a percentage of respondents how many do vs don't.

One prior owner, who pulled it from the pack.

I paid $1000 for this beater in 2002 just after Beckett started grading cards. At the time I thought I was the world's biggest sucker, but I needed it to complete my low/mid grade 1952 set. I'm still not crazy about the card, but I feel a whole lot better about the price.

Here's one. Not in the best condition either, but for the price, I can't complain.:)
