2004 Ellis Burks GU bat. Burks played in only 11 games for the Red Sox during the '04 season, making GU items from that year quite rare. -

How do YOU approach set building?
1. How do you kick it off? I'm working on the 1958 Hires Root Beer set (no tabs.) Currently at 19/66 (28.7%.) I chase any card that comes along, avoiding BINs as much as possible. They don't pop up as much as other vintage sets. 2. How do you approach the limits on condition or serial... -

~~~~Which is the better card.....?~~~~~
Tough call. Part of me says the '51 because of the true RC status. However, I think I would go with the '52. When I started collecting as a kid in the 80's, the '52 Mantle was THE card to own. -
What are your thoughts on grading when it comes to your collection?
No graded cards in my vintage or modern collections. I prefer the way they look in binders. Not really a big fan of the TPG industry, either. It takes away the hobby aspect, and the money involved (i.e. graded vs. raw sales) has turned collectors in to investors. -

Are you more of an AL or NL fan, and what's your view of DH?
I'm a Red Sox fan, too. But if the Sox aren't on, you can find me watching an NL game. John McGraw for president. :) -
