For as long as I can remember the '52 Topps Mantle has been worth about 5x the '51 bowman for the same grade, at least in the lower grades I collect. Why doesn't this transfer to Mays? In fact the '51 mays sells for slightly MORE than the '52 Topps. The fact that mays sells for less than Mantle is a different debate, but this is weird to me. I guess it's just that the '52 Mantle is one of the most iconic cards in the hobby. But that is why I think mantle's 51 bowman is underrated and prices will continue to rise in the future
Edited to add/summarize: I think ANY Mantle cards will do pretty well in the future, and T206 HOFs next in line. 2 of the biggest markets in the hobby

If I am understanding this correct, you have to keep in mind the 52 Mantle is a higher series card where the Mays isn't.
