To anyone who mentioned the 52 Mantle I would just say you won't be disappointed if you decide to pick one up. Of any card I've purchased I was most excited for my first 52 Mantle. I don't know how else to describe it, but there is just something special about that card.

I love the 1938 DiMaggio, but the 1952 Topps Mantle became my least favorite card in my collection when I bought it. I have never understood the fascination with it. It is his 2nd year card, it is a double print and it is ugly. I much prefer his rookie card, it is just as scarce and is a much better looking card. That is what makes the hobby interesting. We all have different tastes. Some of my favorite cards are on others lists of cards they don’t want.
