I'll admit to be a completist and there is NO WAY I could EVER justify buying even a low grade 52 Topps Mantle. So completely completing that set is not an option.

Yep, I can relate. Plus there are so many other sets and cards I want...

All in all, you guys have helped me determine my course. Hats off to those of you who have the 52 Topps set or are close to having it. After I finish some of the sets I am working on, there are a few cards from the set that have that "wow factor" that I will pick up...like the Zernial and the Jackie Robinson. Thanks and happy collecting in 2014 and beyond!
