It’s a dead horse. People have been complaining about the 1952 Topps costing more and not being an actual rookie for literally my entire life. Nothing has changed, nor is it about too. No matter how many times this is discussed or how true it is that the 1952 is not a rookie, it’s value only continues to increase. The gap is huge, and it’s not changing.
