Compare that to a very popular Mantle card, the 65 Topps -- just under 4000 graded.

And I bet more people collect Mike Trout than Griffey. I don't think you can go by volume because there are more and more different cards made of current players every year. The entry level is also a lot lower. Mantle cards are too expensive for many collectors, so they don't bother.
