So I bought a 1952 Topps Mantle.....

AnkurJ · January 25, 2008 10:32AM

And I couldn't be happier!

Its a beater, I know, but I still love it. Colors are nice, creasing and corners are the main problem. The price was very reasonable, especially compared to others I have seen. Its amazing how prices are across the board with this card in PSA 1 and 2.

And I will upgrade some day.

Fun to own, and you are not likely to lose money on it.

Sweet!

perkdog · January 25, 2008 10:52AM

Good for you!

SportsItUpCards · January 25, 2008 10:52AM

Thats the way I like it!

I love when vintage cards are used, otherwise, why would I want a card in PSA 10? For that, I would buy a reprint!

I like all vintage cards in grades of 1 up to 3, or maybe 4 tops, it gotta show some usage for me. I like to see the history in the card, not be in prestine condition, but I guess thats just me?

Congrats, great looking Mantle!

My friend there's no such thing as a beater 52 Mantle. I'd kill to have the card. Be proud and display that baby like a champ.

julen23 · January 25, 2008 11:09AM

great card!

i have a k-mart mantle, but that's about as close to mantle as i can get.

You have peaked! There is no need to buy another card again! Congrats!!!!

gemmintrarities · January 25, 2008 11:10AM

Why buy one. You could have probably searched through dumpsters and found one. I hear a lot of nice cards are found that way. Nice pickup btw.

AnkurJ · January 25, 2008 11:27AM

I was tempted to say I found it in a dumpster, but I thought it would sound tacky and cheap

One thing I will probably want to do is complete a Mickey Mantle Topps set 1952 to 1965. Shouldnt be too hard.

Hell, you might as well go to 1969, since you have the big one out of the way.

JeremyDie1 · January 25, 2008 11:33AM

Very nice pickup!! Did you pick that up on the bay? I thought I saw that one couple days ago.

jamesgotpoorman · January 25, 2008 11:48AM

NIce beater.... a little (OC)

stevek · January 25, 2008 11:50AM

Still a nice card.

zep33 · January 25, 2008 11:53AM

Very nice!

I won't rain on your parade, tho if I were in the market for a '52 T Mick, I wouldn't want that one. Nonetheless, it IS a '52 Mick and good to hear you're happy with your purchase.

Ironmanfan · January 25, 2008 2:00PM

that may even be a 1.5

WinPitcher · January 25, 2008 2:30PM

While the card is creased, the creases are at least below and above the face. I'd rather have the chain cent though. Yes guys this dude has been on a roll as of late!

Nice card you have arrived!!!!!

Trust me, no one will rain on my parade. And spending that kind of money on a card isnt easy, and the lower grades are what people will go for. The colors on this card are amazing in hand compared to the scan. And for the price I bought it for, I feel I did very well!

Ankur that is all that matters.

Did you get it from 707.I swear he had the same card at the Shriners show.

AnkurJ · January 26, 2008 9:59AM

I was looking at what 707 had, but the prices seemed a bit high for the ones they had. But this one was not purchased from them.
AJ

originalisbest · January 26, 2008 10:04AM

I agree ankur, as I said I am not going to rain on your parade. Aesthetically, that card doesn't appeal to me as much as say, an equivalent card with less creasing, but perhaps a pinhole or more rounded corners. That is my opinion only. Since you are happy with your purchase and paid a good price relative to similar cards, then you're fine.

bigdcards · January 26, 2008 10:49AM

I would cross it to a BccG 8.

AnkurJ · January 26, 2008 11:07AM

<< I would cross it to a BccG 8. >>

So would I!

So I bought a 1952 Topps Mantle.....
