It all depends on how bad you want the Mantle.

I recently sold a ton of stuff for a single card that completed a project and do not regret it so a single moment. The 52 Mick is not rare, but it matters how much you want it versus your set. Would you just start your set all over? If its the card you want and at a price you cant beat, then hey, what are gonna do?

I considered the same thing at one time--no one would buy my collection at a price I wanted so I passed. Low grade Mantles appear to be in an upswing. It might be a good time to buy.

It's a very hard decision and that's why I brought it to you guys. I mean you never know what can happen in the next year. I do want the mantle but I feel when I complete the Goudey set that I may just keep it. But to complete it be pretty great achievement. It's tough that's why I want your opinion. I appreciate everyone's input so far.

If it were me, I'd keep the Ruth cards, sell the rest, and then look for a low grade Mantle with nice eye appeal.

A Mantle and the 4 Goudey Ruths are a nice iconic collection all by themselves.

Not bored by any means. I think I may just continue the set and finish it and then go from there.
