1954 Topps Hank Aaron vs 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle
The 1954 Topps Hank Aaron has taking in major gains over the past two years. The last Psa 10 sold for over $357,000 back in 2012, and I'm sure it would take in double that now. The 52 Mantle has been and will be in heavy demand forever. Its' gains have put it above the T206 Wagner as the most valuable card of all time.
Do you think the 3:1 supply ratio in the PSA pop reports is the only difference here? Mantle cards are hot, but is there a someday when Aaron cards are hotter?

The last PSA 9 1954 Topps Hank Aaron sold for 144,000. The last PSA 9 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle sold for 2,880,000. That is a factor of 20 times. I don't see Aaron ever coming close to Mantle. By the way, a PSA 5 MC t206 Honus Wagner sold for more than that PSA 9 Mantle, so Mantle has some ground to make up before it passes Wagner as the most valuable baseball card.

The question wasn't about Hank's card eclipsing Mantle in price, just being as hot or hotter in a timeframe. So yes, when Hank passes away, there will be a window where the 54 Aaron is as hot or hotter than the 52 Mantle. For maybe six months.

The 3:1 supply ratio is a moot point, this time. Mr. Aaron is a fine gentleman, a quiet man that quietly (without pyrotechnic gyrations of his voice and arms) passed the mighty Babe for lifetime home runs. His home fields were Milwaukee and Atlanta, great baseball towns both, yet even combined do not come close to generating what New York does, and what New York seems to have always done in the minds and hearts of baseball fandom.
There have been many good explanations why Hank's baseball cards do not reach the stratosphere as Mickey Mantle's do. In a nutshell, it comes down to DEMAND, not the supply factor. The demand for Mick overwhelms that for Henry, period. I won't say much, save that when I collected as a youngster, and I would open my Topps wax and cello packs, I'm sure I smiled when I got Henry Aaron. On the other hand, when I got Mickey Mantle, I inhaled audibly, my eyes got huge, and a great, big smile grew on my face. I usually REMEMBERED the occasion when I got Mickey each year, but I don't recall any given time I got Hank Aaron. Guess it comes down to this----I like and respect Hank Aaron, but I love Mickey Mantle. ---Brian Powell
