Well.....if you got the cash and want one........there are (5) COUNT EM (5) Mantle rookies in the REA Catalog............

• GAI NM-MT 8 (looks like an EXMT to NM per REA)

• SGC EX 60/5

• PSA VG 3

• PSA G+ 2.5

• SGC A

Incredible how many of these are up for auction each year. Despite cases being tossed into the Atlantic, there is no shortage of this card. A nice range of grades there to appeal to all levels of collectors.

Is this the rookie or the 52T we're talking about? I don't have catalog yet.

--Edit-- I see from second post this is the 52T.

I am looking at one...Read the description on one..says be touched up and can see with black light and trimmed all around- EEKS Who does that?
I got several cards i am watching in fact. Many that my wallet may not afford.
And YES its the 52's --- and REA auction is open now, still i not got the book yet

Sorry......shouldn't have put ROOKIES there......52T......not sure why anyone would trim that Mantle unless it was maybe to force it into a regular card plastic page or something? It already had a chipped corner and it's really clean otherwise. Will be interesting to see where each level of Mantle goes. I'm finished with 1-310 with both 1-80 backs and have 21/97 high numbers but Mantle's not next on the list unfortunately.........most of them look pretty nice at the level they're at. Nice disclosure on the GAI card that it wouldn't likely grade an 8 anywhere else and that it appears to be 6-7 type quality. Got my catalog today, so I'll be perusing it tonite hopefully.......

Yep, mine just came this afternoon. Already got my red sharpie.
Reminds me circling all my Xmas wants.
I am also interested to see what thos Mick 52's bring as well...to see if the hottness is still there.
