WTB: early 50s Mantle, Mays or Aaron
 

Hey friends,

Who's up for giving an old boy a birthday special?

I'm looking to scoop myself a nice bday present, which would be something like one of the following:

1953 Bowman Color Mantle SGC2
1955 Topps Aaron SGC5

But I'd potentially be interested in anything on this list under $1500:

1952 Bowman Mantle
1953 Bowman Color Mantle (under $1000)
1953 Topps Mantle
1953 Topps Mays
1954 Topps Aaron
1955 Topps Aaron (under $800)

Condition: Generally speaking, first and foremost I prefer strong centering on front, and nice color. Graded and in the 1/1.5/2/2.5 range. Creases/corner dings ok. Prefer no ink marks, stains or significant paper loss unless we are talking a higher end front with paper loss and/or staining on the back.

The only exception to this would be a 55 Aaron which should be in the 4-6 range, centered, strong color, pretty sharp corners, no creases/marks/paper loss.

Let me know what ya got! Thanks all!
