Difference of opinion. I love the way it looks, I think it's beautiful. I know why it has value between Mantle, the fact it's a high number and the fact that half of them were apparently dumped into the Ocean. I always spend time admiring The small amount of 52 Topps in my collection, as I really like the art.
I do think 53 is the nicer set overall. The early 50s bowman sets too, are rally enjoyable to me as well.
