Sell my 52T Mays?

Sell it and find the best looking replacement at a lower grade level. You'll still own the card and will have taken some $ off the table at a great price.

This. But wait until May when there is substantial media coverage of his 90th birthday.

I'd sell and not look back 25k could get you a nice toy, or a step towards another goal

I agree. Did that with my Dr. J RC last year and haven't regretted it. Of course it helps that I got out about 25% above current market.

Or just put the card up for sale at a crazy price and see what happens. I did that over the weekend with a Ruth card I don't really want to sell but will if I can cash out at the right price. In this frothy market you never know.

This right here. Sell the Mays, buy a nicely-centered 5 to replace it, and pocket the difference.

a regular 6 and a center 5 , difference might not be that much
great centering carry a huge premium.

I got a PSA 4 I’d love to upgrade. Let me know if you want to go this route!
