I had to look at that picture several times to figure out what was going on. I thought you had a jumbo 52 Topps for a second. Nice run. You should consider a 1954 SI Topps to fill in the gaps a little!

I thought about that (especially since I have the '55 Bowman), but probably won't bother filling out the '50s unless I get his '51 Bowman, which I've just lost interest in pursuing lately.

Had to use my old pic of the '52T since it's now in a safe deposit box, so that made it a jumbo compared to the rest. Maybe I should market it as a new variation that's 1 of 1

Haha, you should. If you want to trade for a regular size one I might be willing to trade in your favor and give you my PSA 1 straight up for that one . 51 Bowman is boring so I don’t blame you.

Story Time:

Ever since I discovered the set, I immediately fell in love with Mickey Mantle's card from Berk Ross. It presented as a beautiful card, at a pretty good price point for a Mantle from 1952. I've been on the hunt for one for quite some time. I missed out on one earlier in the year due to lack of funds at the time, so I made sure to secure one this time around. The iciing on the cake is that it's in good condition and it's raw. While a part of me is tempted to slab it to see the grade, something about a raw card is just so damn appealing! Serious thanks to Charlietheexterminator for answering all of my questions, I think we exchanged close to 30 emails! I'm very happy with this new purchase, and a new centerpiece to my collection
