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.

The fact remains that the 1952 Topps Mantle is the lowest population Topps or Bowman Mantle card. It is from an iconic set and will always be in high demand. As far as aesthetics, it is no less attractive than a t206 Wagner or a Ruth rookie and all three cards are at the top of the baseball card dream list.
