Default 52 Topps mantle or 33 goudey gehrig

Posted By: Eric Brehm

I don't know, these are tough choices -- would you rather have a Gibson Les Paul or a Fender Stratocaster?





Do you want Ginger or Mary Ann during your stay on Gilligan's Island?





I guess the only acceptable solution is to have both, as each has something important to offer.

I have both the #92 and the #160 Gehrig cards from the 1933 Goudey set, despite the fact that they have identical images:




I recently owned a 1952 Topps Mantle that apparently originated from The Find of unopened 1952 Topps in the mid-1980's. But once I got the card, it didn't seem real to me -- maybe the fact that it sat in a warehouse for 30 years and therefore escaped all the normal handling that most baseball cards are subjected to somehow made it seem less desirable. Anyhow, I let the card sit in my safety deposit box for a while, and then sold it the first time I got a good offer.
