Does anyone actually like the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle?

I see Matty has found another 52 Mantle to love on the main board

Count me in as a fan of the 52 Mantle. My thoughts are Wagner is the "it" card in the collecting world while the Mantle holds the title with the main stream public.

Somebody must like it. This one is expected to bring over $10M dollars.

Love the 52 Mantle. The yellow bat doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I actually love the coloring on the card, much like other 52s. And I own/can afford none of them.

Just watched it jump from $4,250,000 to $4,300.000.
Will be fun watching this one to see where it ends.

I am with you, it will be fun to watch. I am not a big condition collector so I would be just as happy to have the awesome 52 Mantle you have.

If a 9.5 sells for $10mm will a 1 be worth 1% of that ($100K)?

Ignore the grade. Here are ten examples of high grade 1952 Mantles. Imagine that you're at the National Convention and want to pick the very best 1952 Topps Mantle you can find for your collection. Further imagine, that since you're stinking rich, price doesn't matter.

Can you pick a favorite?
