No problem, call it what you will but we can all agree the 52' Topps Mickey Mantle is the "Holy Grail" of all Post War cards and probably only second to the t206 Wagner in folklore popularity. Many collectors enjoy graded cards for the investment-nostalga part but there's a "show off" factor involved. PSA has graded about 2,000 52' Mantles that have exploded in value the last 10yr but it would be "cool" to say you own the only PSA graded 52' Mantle error card. It's a 1/1 even if you think its a Metkovich ERR, Mantle is printed with his stats on the reverse.
