I will confess that I just enjoy poking the bear sometimes, because I get my jollies off the (over-) reaction.
And to answer your question, my experience is that most of the 311 lovers prefer to focus on the high number element, and are reticent to countenance the possibility of the DP feature.

I'm with you on the 1952 Topps Mantle, but then again, I'm not a Mantle guy. I am, however, like you, a Mays guy, and I still can't bring myself to buy a 1952 Topps Mays. As bad as the Mantle is, the Mays is 100x worse. Did they just take a surprise picture as he was leaving the clubhouse bathroom? I don't know if I'd accept that card for free...
