So let's turn the question around. Limiting ourselves to post-WWII cards since just about all of these are still in plentiful supply, which players are the most grotesquely overpriced? Should any names be added to those of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron? Sandy Koufax maybe?

I guess to me -- what started this thread -- is Mantle rules that top spot. But, like anything, he's worth whatever someone is willing to pay ... and apparently, that's a lot.
