1952 mantle topps

[HaloFan]

I would add that this is a card you should not be looking for a steal with--especially one that is centered. I probably overpaid for my PSA 1(it's really off centered, but relatively clean with not many creases and some minor scuffing), but I wasn't looking for a great deal when I was looking to buy one. To me, it was better to pay a little more from a legitimate source than save $$$ with the risk that it is fake.

There's a website run by Josh Alpert that gives good information on the '52 Mantle. If you put it in the search engine, the site should appear.

As others have said..patience and do shop around...prices vary widely and it's not always tied to the slabbed grade either... a lower grade with better eye appeal will sometimes top higher graded versions by a lot. I got my poor one a long time ago...I don't think I can stomach paying for one now even in this condition... good luck in your search. It will be sweet when you get one!

Welcome to the board, this is a great site chalk full of information. I would echo the one day VCP (vintagecardprices.com) membership. It will allow you to see what cards have sold for publicly and will include scans of the cards so you can see condition, etc.

Leon, that's a great Cobb, and I really enjoy Adrian, I think he brings a ton of well intended energy to the table, which is great to see.
