No, I hear you. It is just that when your overall experience is that cards in one earlier set normally go for more than cards in a later set, you wouldn't expect the opposite to be true for one single player's base card in those two sets. Unless there was some special circumstance like the player's card in the later set was a short print, or maybe in the high number series.
I don't normally follow current card prices of individual players, like Mays, and am just surprised that a similarly graded '62 Topps card of his would go for so much more than his '54 Topps card. Defies logic to me. Oh well, live and learn.
