I just got back into the hobby after a 10 year layoff. I am looking for a 1951 bowman mickey mantle rc card psa 8. I been looking for a week now, found some 6's and a 7, but no 8's. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    With a card like that, I would be much more patient and wait for a nice one to come along. Make sure to check all the major auction houses.

    I agree with the previous posters. A week is nothing when you're talking about a card like that. And try to be patient. Don't just jump on the first one you see. Wait until you find one that makes you drool...and pull the trigger!

    If you're bidding with a major auction house, I'd advise that you place a bid early, and then take it bid by bid in the extra hours bidding. No max bids. And if you can get an earlier graded Mantle 8, you will probably have a stronger 8 than a newer grade. That's just my opinion though. Good luck!

When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    I figured the auction houses would be the best bet. I will continue to look. Figured I might get lucky though. Thanks for the quick replies. If anyone has any other ideas, please let em know. Thanks again...
