I know I will never own one..but Im quite good with it..not a big Mantle guy.. I have wanted other " out of reach cards" in the past and actually landed a couple., but if a great mantle deal fell in my lap..Id consider it

As kids, one of the first things we did when we got new price guides was look up the value of the '52 Mantle. None of us knew it wasn't his rookie. All of us wanted one.

Some days, I think it'd be cool to own one as a reminder of the good ol' days. In reality, I don't think I'll ever be willing to spend that kind of money on a baseball card. And if I could bring myself to let go of that kind of cash on one card, Mantle would have to fall in line behind a few other cards that I've since learned about.

Regards,

Richard.

If I do it will happen because I inherit one or win a contest. And I probably wont have it for long because I'm sure there are people on the BST that would want it much more than I do!

Probably not for me. A huge Mantle admirer but not a Mantle collector. I could do so much more for my collection with that kind of money. Besides I could probably only end up affording a trashed example and that doesn't seen worth it for the "centerpiece" of my collection.

BTW I do think I will end up with a 52 Bowman since completing that set is my next dream project. So in truth I could say someday "Hey I finnally got a 52 Mantle!"

Default 52 Mantle
I am fortunate to have 2, both variations. I have tried to do any recognized variations to the set, with the exception of the gray backs

Honestly I would have to say, YES ! The two cards I want to get someday, and this would be some years down the road are a nice 4-5 grade Mantle Topps RC and a nice 2 or 3 grade T206 Plank ! Another card I have always wanted is the 68 3D Clemente.

Al would love to see scans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This may sound nuts...but I probably will never get one and I am happy with that. I would think if I did I might stop collecting, feeling like a had reached the pinnacle.

NO, because a '52 Topps Mantle RC doesn't exist. I know what you meant though. No, I will probably never own a '52 Topps Mantle. The '51 Bowman Rookie, I'd say yes, I probably will someday.

1951 Wheaties and 1951 Bowman are his Rookies, Ive owned both in the past.

Never wanted/needed his 1952 Topps card and never will.
