WTB: '52 '53 Mays or Mantle (Closed)
 

Hey folks,

I'm looking to pick up a nice early 50s Mays or Mantle. Looking to spend up to 2k (unless it's something really special at a phenomenal price). Preferably graded (and if graded, must be PSA, SGC, or BVG only.

Here's what I'm looking at in order of preference:

1952 Bowman Willie Mays
1952 Bowman Mickey Mantle
1953 Topps Mickey Mantle
1953 Bowman Color Mantle
1953 Topps Willie Mays
1954 Topps Willie Mays
1954 Topps Hank Aaron

I've been tracking listings on ebay for all of these cards but was told there would be some folks here who might be able to help me find what I'm looking for.

Looking forward to seeing what you might have up for grabs.

Thanks!

I did just receive an offer on ebay for a '52 Bowman Willie Mays SGC3. Its a sweet looking card, but recent ebay sales have been less than that. What do you think, can I do better, or should I pull the trigger?

I have several 1953 Topps Mays being graded by SGC right now and can contact you once I get them back.

Thanks so much, that sounds good.

Bumping this. Anyone have a 52 Bowman Willie Mays they're considering selling?

OK folks. Thanks for the offers but this case is closed.

I went for the 1952 Bowman Willie Mays SGC3 on ebay. A bit pricey but was willing to go up to 2.5 and got it for 2 all in including tax and shipping. So, not too bad. If I find a better deal on a SGC3 or 4 maybe I'll be selling this one here.

Thanks again for all the input and offers!
