I just like his 52 Mantle...I havent the funds to buy one..but i may be on a spending spree at REA.....I may reach the moon.
All i can say, if i had his $$$....i being going after some rare cards myself.
I just reccomend...do research and price comparisons...and do as much of it as possible.

Thanks...by the way I am in no way a millionaire yes I have some funds but not like the big whales like you guys call them. I will never be a millionaire either and that is simply a fact of life.

By the way guys 15000$ is a LOT of money (the only card I would pay that much for is the the 52 Mantle or maybe a E90-1 Shoeless Joe Jackson) for me as well so when I decide to go ahead and spend that kind of money I want to get the best looking card I can for it. I will repeat I am not a millionaire and never will be one...I did not grow up rich and few if any change social classes during their life time.

Living in Canada I have to buy the right card right of the bat that I truly like because for me to upgrade later on with all the taxes and custom fees would be crazy...so I have to land the right card that suits me the 1st shot and the 52 Mantle suited me....was not a card I would regret down the road.

Here in Canada very few people own a 52 Mantle so I would always take the risk of shipping back and forth from the U.S and I do not want to do that so the cards I get will stay in my collection a long long time.

True of course many of us here in Canada are hockey card collectors.

I collected hockey but switched over to lacrosse when I discovered the C60, C59 and C61 Imperial Tobacco series and the fact that some of these lacrosse players also played hockey!

Gotta love vintage hockey cards they are way way undervalued and very rare....nice cards sir!!! I use to have a very nice hockey card collection but switched to coins for some reason now I am into vintage baseball...life and it's many paths!!! On another note one football card I have always wanted is the Bronko Nagurski 1935 chicle rookie card or the Holy grail of football cards I have looked around for a few months now and they seem to all have bad centering I will wait to find one graded a PSA 3 or PSA 4 well centered with a strong picture...I am in no rush for that card but will buy one when I can find the right one.

Link for those who do not know that card:

Just out of sheer curiosity . . . what do you do for a living Adrian?

I do research projects with a friend that has his PHD in my field. We get contracts from the Federal government. I have my masters in sociology and he has his doctor's degree....he teaches at the local University and gets many many side job contracts that I work on. He was one my many professors at that school when I was there as a student and we had a lot in common in our way of thinking and work ethics. I work from home basically for myself.

Yes yes I know I do research!!!!

Sounds boring to most but I like reading a lot so I enjoy it and it feels rewarding that is a big plus!!!

You also got me on that what is that card? Never even seen one. I know nothing about pre 1935 football cards as you guys can see.

Thanks just finished reading the article very very interesting makes one want to own one...but like I said I would not pay that much for a football card. Do not get me wrong I follow football a lot but like I said only a few select cards I would be willing to pay over 10 000$ for and this is not one of them.
