I recently acquired a 52 Topps Hoyt Wilhelm, which was the last big card from the 52 set that I needed (other than the Mantle). With the Mantle looming on the horizon, things have gotten real, and the urge to complete the set has taken over.

Maybe I will get laughed off the boards, but I figured I would at least cast my net into the waters. I know this is an extremely long shot, but is anyone interested in exploring a trade for a PSA 1 52 Mantle? I could offer all of the following cards in the deal. I know that 20 lesser cards for one mega card is not everyone's cup of tea, but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask. Maybe someone out there upgraded to a higher grade Mantle and is looking to move their PSA 1 for other stars? Asking around is what the trade deadline is about right?!

If anyone is interested in at least discussing, I can send additional photos, give more detail, talk through things on the phone, etc. I am relatively new on these boards but have loved the interaction to date.
