I am not shocked there are 5 1952 Topps coming I am shocked they did not get 14 of them. Anyway the part that confused me was the part in bold. I have no idea what the graded population is for the 52 Topps but I have always thought of it as a card that is abundant. And the graded examples do not reflect the over all population of them. I know of several collectors whose examples are still ungraded.

PSA has 1,849 graded copies alone. It is available in large supply. The 52 Topps high's are tough, only in comparison to other Topps series. Dozens or Hundreds are for sale every year, year in and year out.

They've graded 2,510 of the 51 Bowman high Mantle's for comparison, 4,895 of the 1953 Topps card from the very common first series. Neither as popular as the 52 of course, but expensive cards that tend to get graded at a high rate.

Demand absolutely exceeds supply but nothing limited about their availability. Gee I hope that fact is not going to upset any of the pumpers. I would hate to ruin a Sunday, especially one that falls on a holiday weekend.

“ Well you too might be a tad sensitive because your interpretation is reaching. We all know that once something sells for big money, examples flood to the market. THAT is what was meant. Not some hidden attempt to insult or get a rise out of anyone.”


“Not some hidden attempt to insult or get a rose out of anyone”


Oh of course not… you seem very sincere.

By the way… I’m totally unhinged right now.

“Well ya might not be unhinged but even you should ask why you are bothering.”

All I wanted to do was associate myself to this 9.5 mantle in some way shape or form to be relevant. I was bored so I logged in once, saw all your posts and noticed you hovering over the thread online(By gosh what were the chances?) I bothered for a min and made a comment. I think that sums it up.

On behalf of everyone on the board, thanks for sharing. And thanks for noticing me out of everyone else who has posted on this one.

There is that sincerity again. Sorry if I upset you.

YOU are very welcome. However, by reading through the thread … I don’t think many would like you speaking on behalf of them. I could have interpreted your 20 or so posts the wrong way though. I didn’t try to notice you I promise. You were just always there. Way to make yourself known! �� Persistence can be a very good quality. Quantity over quality was def the way to go to achieve your goal.

Well ya might not be unhinged but even you should ask why you are bothering. you have taken things out of context so there is nothing to address here.
