Hi Peter- I'll preface my comments by stating that Campy is a favorite of
mine. I find it odd that certain all time greats like him don't enjoy higher
values. He's a) a sentimental favorite who b) played on a popular team and
who c) brought the stats, as you've pointed out. He also was the subject of
many classic issues like his rookie, the 52 Topps, and the 53 Bowman Color (my favorite). Another example is Rod Carew. SEVEN batting titles, 3000+ hits,
likable guy, with cool cards as well (not as desirable as Campy's, but his 60s
cards and early 70s are desirable). I suppose that, over a span of decades,
collectors/buyers have determined who they "want" or "expect" to be valuable
over time, and it is difficult to crash that party- in baseball, anyway. Trent King
