Ted ZanidakisOK, let's stop bickering and nit-picking over my choice
of words in my earlier post on this subject. And, raise
this discussion to a higher level.
The 1952 Topps Mantle consistently gets bigger $$$$ than
any other post-war card. It is by no means tough to find,
and is actually a double-printed card. At shows I always
check-out the display of cards that "707 Sportscards" has
to offer.
Levi Bleam will invariably have anywhere from 10 - 14 1952
Topps Mantle's in varying condition. He seldom has a Leaf
Paige to sell. Levi is a very aggressive buyer of cards, he
always has a pretty good selection of rare Leaf cards.
So, if he can't find a Paige, then I'm certain this is a very
scarce card. Combine this with high demand; and, perhaps
it should command bigger $$$$ than the Mantle.
