I think the '52 Mantle is vastly more over-rated than the Wagner. There are thousands of them. They are not even tough to find in high-grade. There are probably more Mantles in NM or better than there are T206 Wagners in existence. That said, it is popular for a reason as are all the "over-rated" cards. I have never been a big fan of the E90-1 Jackson because the face/nose area always looks weird, but the standing pose is cool. To each their own. It is the rookie card of one of the greatest hitters in the history of the game, from a very important set, and relatively speaking (compared to the '52 Mantle) is fairly tough. For my money, i would take a CJ Jackson over the E90-1 though any day. Aesthetics are important to me.
