this is all I was trying to say.

While I also believe this to be true . Mantle , Mathews , Robinson are all in the 6 series . Mays is not

True however the difference in overall pops is minimal compared to the appeal and status of the mays card in the hobby. It’s been over looked for way to long especially compared to mantle. No reason at all that its not closer in value to the mantle. Mays was a top 5 player and people were sleeping on the obvious.

I think the 52 Campy has some room to grow. Hi number, HOFer that played in the Negro Leagues, and a beloved Dodger.

One other one I've been thinking might make some big leaps is the 54 Red Heart Mantle. Now that the 52T is out of reach for the basic collector, this card has such a similar visual appeal (mixed with the 54 Bowman) that I think it'll makes strides in months to come.

I would agree that the set and the player are both great but the image is not for me. I think his 1951 Bowman card is probably his best looking and from a great set. Not to mention it also a year earlier.

I would say 1951 Bowman Mays , Ford , Williams still have room to grow. The 1951 Bowman has eye appeal and a bunch of big name rookies and HOFers.

it’s modern basketball but I’m shocked how the 1990 Kentucky shaq (his first card) sells so low. You can pick one up for a $100 or so. I can see that one blowing up.

A ‘52 Topps Jackie PSA 3 just closed on eBay for $16k. That card is exploding and I don’t think it’s done yet.

I bought a PSA 2 two years ago for $750. This is insanity.

Unreal. I think you're right. The key postwar set, high #, great image. A PSA 1 went for $6,650. At this rate, I don't think any grossly intact card will sell for less than mid-four figures. It has surpassed the 1947 Bond Bread portrait RC. A PSA 1.5 sold for $5200 this week.
