The future of Mickey Mantle collectibles?
Not sure if this has been discussed before since I'm usually on the pre-war forum, but here goes....
Just curious what others think about the future desirability of Mickey Mantle related collectibles. He's the biggest name from the '50's when all the 'baby boomers' were young and growing up. Will his items (cards, autographs, etc.) still be desirable 20 years from now in relation to the extent that those same 'baby boomers' (now in their 60's+) feel they currently are? Will future baseball fans go crazy for his items? He's obviously a Yankee legend, so he'll always be collected in NY, but what about elsewhere? My guess to those questions is that his stuff will eventually 'cool off', but I'd like to hear other opinions. Thanks for reading.
