Mantle, Clemente, and Jackie are the 3 most valuable post war players. Not many collectors I know wanna sell their cards of said players, they only want to buy more !
That doesn’t mean they have the best stats or were the best players. We’re they great players? Absolutely.
More importantly when it comes to value is iconic, popularity, and all around amazing character.
People that don’t know jack about baseball know who Jackie, Clemente, and Mantle are when you mention their names. Just as they know Ruth.
