Congrats. Amazing card. I am in the market for the '51 Bowman. Did you go thru eBay or in person?

I went through eBay on this one. The seller was great and easy to work with.

Great looking '2' IMO! Nicely done

What made that the #1 card on your wantlist? (And now, what is currently #1 on the list?)

For as long as I can remember (early 80's) the 52 mantle was the card I always wanted but could never afford to have. I then like many took a break when I went off to college in the mid 90's and never got back into collecting until 2005. I got pretty serious about 3 years ago and accumulated some great cards but never the 52 mantle. That was always number 1 and will forever be the centerpiece of my collection no matter how expensive another card might be that I buy. I will need to think of what I would consider a new #1 but the memories of always wanting this card will never be matched by whatever I get next. Thanks again everyone and keep posting your pick ups. Love seeing them.
