I thought of Mantle when considering the Topps Era, and all the various issues that encompasses. He may very well lead that era due to his immense popularity.
The modern era saturation is just hard to fathom...10X to 20X the amount of cards for the game's popular players

For that matter,
I presume Fernando Rodney has far more baseball cards than Mickey Mantle.
I should have read all the posts before responding . Interesting stuff.
