Like a guy said about the Creme Ruth, Cobb, Jackie, and Mantle would hold these. These names are last cards anyone wants to sell and people who know nothing about Baseball or Cards know who those 4 guys are.

Jackie saw a meteoric rise this year with all the stuff going on with the NBL. I still firmly believe that Mantle prices will see a slight decline as more of the people that idolize him, get up there in age, and eventually look to sell their Mantles, thus more of them hitting the market. Come to think of it the only mainstream cards of his that really set you back are the 52 Topps and 51 Bowman. Any of his other cards can be found in various conditions for 1K or less.

Ruth and Cobb will forever be big draws. Ruth more so because as well known as Cobb is, the Babe is the face of baseball in many ways, to the point where everyone knows who he is. Cobb is certainly the face of the Dead Ball Era IMO.

I still stand firmly by the belief that some prices will come down, post Covid. I suppose we'll revisit my opinion next December when things are back to normal.
