Not really. The M101-4/5 Babe Ruth went from a nothing special card to his most expensive card in a MLB uniform because a minority hyped in as a rookie card. The 1951 Bowman Mantle is his true rookie card. In today's hobby where cards like the M101-4/5 Ruth or 1925 Exhibit Gehrig have taken huge jumps, there is no reason why Mantle's RC hasn't done the same and overtaken the 1952 Topps.
