All of this in the context of my piggy bank, which only has pennys and nickels in it.
A '52 Mantle can be had anytime, in almost any shape, if you have the money.
But if you have a million dollars, you still can't buy one of these, unless it's for sale. (I realize it's not super valuable.)

+1 to what Leon said. While my very scarce 1947 Champs Hats example is in nowhere near as nice condition as Leon's example nor is mine autographed, I treasure it because Mickey Vernon was my second most favorite Washington Senator when I was a kid.
