It is a Mantle, and Mantle fans based on my reading "The Last Boy" by Jane Leavy will do what it takes to keep him at the top. I completely respect that.

"The 1952 Topps Mantle is the holy grail of sports cards," Gough said. "As a kid ripping packs in the '90s, I always dreamt of owning one. ... I felt this Mantle was highly underpriced."

I completely get it, as I have game programs from 1956 World Series that I just touch and feel like I am in the presence of him, Jackie Robinson, etc. The aura is real, it was the golden age, and the perception of Mantle will never change. I am glad this overtook Trout.

Now if we can just get T206 Honus Wagner back to the top. I am pretty sure this guy is after one of these, based on his recent purchases.

Props to him as well, as we are both native Indianapolis guys!! I am putting together my measly collection now........just added a nice Joss portrait to sit next to my Young portrait.
