No. If he's dinged because he's jewish, then Gibson is dinged below that because he's black? (His cards on the whole are worth less than Koufax's). At some point that logic doesn't make sense. The memorabilia world values Mantle very lopsidedly in comparison to how regular history in this country views sports superstars. At least from that lens in the 1960's - Koufax is a god.
