Thanks for posting that item, Al. Since the '52 Topps Mantle card was generally priced at the same level as the other high numbers in 1967 - a whopping one buck - it seems that the big hike in "value" actually took place in the 1980's, when card collecting hype itself hit the stratosphere. To the extent that investment remains a substantial part of the hobby, the card's price will probably contine to be inflated, but not as the result of a 30-year-old "bubble."
