Mine is way nicer than 95% to 99% of them there so I am OK with the price and VERY happy with my Mantle rookie.

I went to that site before buying and concluded that mine was worth the price it is as nice a graded 4 comes. And have have had 2 serious offers from other people already for it for more than I paid for it so I did good!!!

Was on Ebay only a few minutes then I purchased it I was lucky to find it at that specific time (was just checking a few minutes before and it was not there then about a hour later it showed up on Ebay). I check Ebay ALL the time and every couple of hours for cards I want for my collection....the only way to get those cards we want before others do.

Yes I am a dedicated collector like I said I only know a little on pre war cards but a lot on post war cards.

Isn't this the same Mantle you posted a link to on the prewar side? I could swear you stated on that thread that you did not end up purchasing the card...

Did not want people to know until I had received it threw the mail. To prevent others from trying to get the card outside of Ebay threw the seller...this has happened in the past to me a few times....I know how to protect myself from this now.

Are we still talking about the '52 Topps, or are you referring to a '51 Bowman?

Do you have the card in hand yet?

Yes received it yesterday. I was talking to a few people and they offered me more than what I paid for it.

Yes I am aware of his 51 Bowman card I know it is his true rookie but the 52 Topps is way way more in demand with collectors. I will bu ya 51 Bowman one day.

That is fine, you kept referring to it being his RC and just wanted to make sure you knew that it wasn't really his rookie. It really just depends on what you wanted. If you want his most desired card you got it. If you want his rookie you don't have it.

Glad to hear that it arrived safely. Can you post a picture of it? The images in the auction have a watermark at the bottom which I find distracting.

Here are a few cards I have added to my collection the 1887 old Judge my brother was the buyer and we decided to split the cost 50/50:

You do know this isn't his Rookie right? This can be considered his Topps rookie (first Topps card), but he had Bowman card in 1951 that would be his true rookie.
