Agree with you on Mays. Although his cards have ticked up slightly this year, it hasn't been exponential like some of the others mentioned.
The fact that you can STILL get one of his true rookie cards (1951 Bowman) for an entry level price of around $2000 (grade 1 or 2) and even a grade 4 for around $5000 in today's market is surprising to me.
When I started building my 1952 Bowman set a few years ago, his was one of the first "high dollar" cards I bought, because being his second year card and a high number short print, I was convinced it was soon going to skyrocket in value. Turns out I should I have bought the Mantle three years ago instead
