I'd say it was graded correctly at a 1 based on what I have seen.
It's a nice card regardless but ultimately the decision is your's and your's only. Personally, I'd keep it based on what has already been said in here. I know if I ever got rid of mine, I would regret it for a very long time.

Keep the 52 and just buy the 51 when your ready.... My 2 cents...

If the 51B is really exceptional for its grade, with both great centering and sharp registration, then I would go with that very rare specimen of the 51B.
If the 51B has the usual eye appeal issues, i.e., blurry and off-centered, I'd say definitely stick with the 52T. That example is nicely centered and will be hard to replace. Best option, as has been said above, if it is possible snag a 51B and keep both!

No way I'd ever trade that for a 51 Bowman. Your card is exceptional for the grade and would cost a ton to replace. Your in a position now where, if you decided you had to have both, you could pick up a poor 51 Bowman for a reasonable price. If you made the trade and decided you wanted the 52 Topps, you're gonna have to shell out a ton of money for a poor one that won't look nearly as nice as your specimen.
