I'm sure it may be difficult to be completely accurate in your assessment but any opinions on this trade proposal would be much appreciated. Card shop owner is far more experienced trading than I so naturally I think he is getting the better deal. Thanks in advance

A quick eBay search shows PSA 5 1952 Bowman Mantles have sold for around $5500 recently so along with $6000 cash, he's offering you around $11,500 in value. I don't know what your 1968 Topps set with the graded cards you have is worth. You would have to do some work to figure that out (if you already haven't). If you think that would be a fair value for it and prefer to have the 1952 Bowman Mantle instead of the 1968 Topps set, make the trade.
