Yes I want the 51 as well for my set but to me it is not even close in its beauty compared to the 52 Topps....again my opinion!!!

Looking at pics of the 52 Topps over the years on the computer does not do the card justice compared to real life when I received my 52 Topps it was instant love at first site the card simply draws you in and makes you love it!!! I you have one that still has that amazing blue you can't help but day dream when looking at it it brings you right into the game of baseball....and at 32 years old not many picture with a human on it give you such a feeling!!!

It is simply a work or art!!! I now understand why people fall in love with some paintings....I did not understand this before I held the 52 Topps in my hands....never understood what the craze was all about.

Zone, you can always edit a post if you think of something else and write something different every 25 minutes on there like Dr. Cycle. just my .02

I'd be a buyer of a 52 T Mantle at around $2400. I've seen unslabbed beaters on ebay go for around that.

You get so hung up on technicalities just his proper rookie card. I agree with you on this one I would rather own a great looking bowman than a lesser topps.

to me...both of the mantle rookies are special and are exciting to me...but the 52 topps is somewhat "larger" than the bowman...both literally and figuratively...it's a strong looking card! Ultimately having both would be ideal!!!!

Weird there does not seem to be much bidding going on today or actually the last few days on the 20 or so lots I am watching I guess the bidding will come closer to 4h00pm Eastern time tomorrow.

Zone-

There was a ton of bidding today actually. refer to the "recent bids" link, i checked a few times today, seemed like a lot...in fact i just looked, and in the last 30 minutes there's been about 100 bids. i think that's a lot for a non-closing day. tmw will be fast & furious.

I assume you're at your 15 post limit, so i guess you'll respond to this post after midnight.

scotty...the whole RC thing is getting weird?!?! If I look at Ty Cobb RC's...I can choose from postcards...to caramels...to team postcards?!?!? And now with Ruth it's the prookie...vs the m101-4/5...vs now the team card?!?! While I like the team photo to see all of the babe's teammates in his rookie season...that's cool! But I wouldn't consider a team photo a rookie card?!?!

When I started collecting in the late 70's....the m101/4-5 was the ruth rookie...if one even considered what a "rookie" was back then. I never knew about the balt news card until much later in life?

SO while the balt news has become the ultimate ruth rookie...personally the m101/4-5 is the rookie to me...and a team photo will never be a rookie...although it is a great way to get a cheap early ruth...but not in rea's case!!!!!
