well also basically when it was real close to a rookie year you would see the FTC designation...also the legend of the 1952 Topps Mantle grows...IN Fact even the past few weeks may of added to the legend...there may be some 30 year olds following these sales and 20 years from now they are bidding 500k because of what they are experiencing now...some people buy fancy cars for their definition of 'success' some buy artwork or cards..to each their own....I just don't see those same 30 year olds bidding more than the current SMR is for 1952 Topps commons 30 years from now.....
