Yet, in graded 5s, the Bowman sells for under $200.00 and the Topps for $350.00. Compare these prices with the 1955 Willie Mays cards which are his fourth year ones. Mays’ 1955 Bowman, in a graded 5, sells for around $225.00, and the Topps for around $400.00.
Further compare this with Mickey Mantle’s sole 1955 card. You could own both Hank Aaron’s 1955 cards, in a graded 5, for less than the cost of the Mantle in the same grade.

Well this clearly shows that collectors value Mays over Aaron, and Mantle over them both.
And this shouldn't be surprising, Mantle is the undisputed king of the post-war hobby.
