Steve B - great points - agree they all add to the value in one way or another.
Re: the scarcity of the '52 Mantle - has anyone run a recent pop. report on the '52 Topps Mantle for grades 6+ at PSA and SGC??...I agree that finding any example of the card, regardless of grade, is relatively easy...however, finding high-end examples (6+) is not nearly as easy...
...and what I've found with this Mantle in particular is that once you're 'hooked', you're hooked for good...ie, it has kind of a 'Mona Lisa' look to it...I started with a low grade example, and as time went by, my desire for owning a better example only increased...I know other folks who have the card too, and they've got the same story.
