Mantle Set Collector here.

While I've slowed down, I've made substantial progress toward my goal of whats considered to be Mantle's Basic Set. I've gone a little beyond the basic, as well, mostly because I love how certain cards, such as his 54 Red Heart and 52 Berk Ross, look. I'm going to hit the proverbial wall, once I acquire the 52 Bowman and 53 Topps. I don't think I'll be able to touch the 51 Bowman or the 52 Topps for a long time. I'm dragging my feet when it comes to his 60's cards, mostly because they're readily available. My current progress is outlined below.

- 52 Berk Ross
- 53 Bowman
- 54 Bowman
- 54 Red Heart
- 55 Bowman
- 56 Topps
- 57 Topps
- 58 Topps
- 59 Topps
- 60 Topps
- 61 Topps
- 62 Topps
- 66 Topps
- 68 Topps

I was Thinking of maybe working on Mays once I'm done with the Mick. Or shift my focus to some prewar cards. I've always wanted a Gehrig in my collection, along with a Ruth, Cobb and Mathewson. Collecting's a lifetime journey though, I'll get them all eventually, God Willing!
