My goal is to do the run first from 1952-1960 and then slowly work on the 60's - not as fun as the 50's but have to pick up these cards for a complete run. I do not plan on upgrading the 52 and 53 due to $$ for these two cards and I like the ones I have to date. Will do 1956-1960 in PSA 8 and above and have most of them already with a few additions hopefully on the way. Here are a few photos of my run to date laid out.
Since this photo was taken I have added a PSA 8 1956 Mantle, sold one of the 1960 PSA 8's, and picked up a PSA 8 1968 Mantle - both the 1956 and 1968 were PWCC HE. |
Awesome cards. Funds are definitely not unlimited for me either. Unfortunately I had to sell quite a few cards recently, and will probably sell a few more to go after something else I want. Let me know if you want to sell one of those 1960s, assuming you still have both.
Edit: And thanks to everyone else again for the kind words.
