There are seven best of the best. Ruth, Williams, Cobb, Mays, Wagner, Mantle, DiMaggio. I was privileged to see Ted, Mickey, and Willie quite a bit, being born in 1945. I saw Ted and Mickey square off at Fenway many times. Anyone who thinks Mantle is overrated wasn't as lucky as I was to have seen him play. As a Sox fan from birth, it was impossible to dislike the Mick. How many tools can a player have? Mickey had them all. As far as $600,000 for a card; well, the world is mess up.
