Agree 100% with both statements. Most Mickey cards seem to be the last card anyone wants to part with in their PC. The 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle is always difficult to buy privately from a collector, they can't part with it unless they have upgraded to another one. To me the 1952 Mantle #311 will always be the Post War Wagner....the Iconic Card of the Golden Era of Baseball Bubble Gum Card Collecting.
As for Negro League one could say the 1952 Topps Jackie or 1953 Topps Mays both High Number SP's both beautiful iconic cards. Portrait and Basket Catch!
