keep the set. There will always be enough low grade Mantles around when you have the $ to buy one.

I agree with most of the earlier posts. The Mantle will be there and the worst that will happen is your 34 set grows in number and value which makes the Mantle easier to achieve. Once you get the Mantle, then what?

I really want to thank everyone who has commented. I think I will complete the set. I truly do enjoy this set just from the art work. I may pick up a second subset or something to keep me busy while I wait for these 34's to pop up.

If you like the Mantle a lot, I say make the trade. You can always restart the 34s one at a time, $60 a pop (or whatever they have been running). You probably aren't just going to have $4k laying around to buy a Mantle. I've done the collect a bunch of low priced cards over time, then sell to fund a large purchase thing a couple times, and haven't regretted it for a second.

Just wondering which 52 Mantle version? A or B. I believe 'A' is more better looking than 'B' due to the wiggleness of the yellow signature box and uncomplete logo box.

A for sure. I hate the wiggly version.

Never have understood why a second-year double printed Mantle is so important to so many collectors.
