I still need many lower numbered cards but I thought if I am willing to spend $500 or so on one card that I love, should I maybe spend that on one or a couple high number 52 Topps cards?
I know the decision is mine only, but for the life of me I can't figure out what to do!  |
You go with your gut. If it tells you the Mantle is the one, do it. If not, don't. There will always be 1956 Topps Mantles out there, and there will always be 1952 Topps cards. Whichever you pick, you aren't wrong. Make a decision and don't second guess yourself would by my suggestion.
