Certainly there's gotta be other factors involved with the
'62 Mays other than the splintering
(see what I did there?) of the wood border, right??
I just had my
1962 Topps #10 Roberto Clemente come back as an
SGC 7. An absolutely gorgeous card, yet the prices of his
'sevens' are a mere fraction of what the
Mayses (is that the correct way to pluralize Willie?) go for. It's obviously not a perfect comparison, but those two guys sort of occupy the same echelon of
'greatness,' so I imagine their cards should be more similar in value.
Doing a quick
(non-scientific) look at the sold prices of their
1961,
1963 and
1964 Topps cards shows a much stronger parallel of value between their
PSA 7 cards.
We need
Miss Marple to get off of her lazy butt and start working on this mystery...
