This came up in an epic Zone topic and I voted at that time that the '52 Topps Mantle is an iconic card in our hobby and transcends era. Discussions of Mantle as a player I would say do not belong on the "prewar" forum, unless he's being compared with a prewar player.
There are days that I might find one topic on the main prewar forum that I want to read and days that I can go through all of them. I would rather read about a '52 Mantle then many of the "OT" threads. The OT threads don't bother me because I can choose to pass them by.
*I think cards 1945 and earlier are acceptable as they are not yet "postwar".
