Yup. I'm 37, and never saw Mick, Babe, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Shoeless, Cobb, etc., but because I love the game, love playing it, and love cards, all those legends and their cards are desirable to me. I know many other guys into the history and collecting, and they feel the same.
Also, there is something about revered iconic imagery-- and Mantle images and cards are just exalted in the baseball card hobby. That reverence and stature is just there to stay, it does not fade as long as the game occupies a large place in our culture-- not unlike appreciating art made centuries ago.
