I guess I don’t see Ozzie getting more hobby love than those guys. His RC goes for a bit of a premium in high grade but that’s because the card is almost impossible to find centered / untitled. Other than that, his cards don’t really sell for much.
Hard to compare to Schmidt or Sandberg since their careers are staggered at different times of vintage availability. Schmidt’s RC suffers from being ugly and shared with two other guys. Sandberg’s RC is basically junk wax and can be benchmarked against Boggs and Gwynn where it performs pretty well especially given that his career was the least impressive among the three.
Ozzie was beloved. He had that winning personality. He did that flip when he came out on the field, played in a baseball town, hit a famous home run. So he has all that going for him.
Just some random musings.
