#1. New York Yankees lineage
#2. 1952 Topps #311
I think this card casts a shadow on all other Mantle cards, the same way the T206 Honus Wagner, kind of casts a shadow on all of Honus's other cards.
In a perfect world I think Mickey, Mays and Aaron would all exist on a very similar plane in collectors minds. It kind of blows my mind how much Aaron lags behind both Mantle and Mays.
