'52 Mantle...
I remember the card like it was yesterday and exactly where I saw it. I believe it was around '86 or '87 and my parents used to drag me to an antique show once in a while on Sunday afternoons. Now fast forward twenty some years, and I love going to the same antique show during the summer. To this day, I remember the exact spot where a dealer had a '52 Topps Mantle in a thick screw down case for $500. It was in Good condition with some soft corners, but I only had like $20 back then and I could get a lot of 35 cent wax packs with that money. That Mantle was way out of my league, but I'll never forget it.
