Will there be a post-war card again like the 52 Mantle ?

No problem, Irv. Almost all of the manufactured rarities from the 1920s and '30s were done so to avoid giving out a prize for redeeming a completed set. In the 1932 U.S. Caramel Presidents set, common cards can easily be found for under $100. Even a nice Washington or Lincoln can be had for just a couple hundred dollars. William McKinley, meanwhile, sold for $96,000 in the 2014 REA auction.

The SGC 10 McKinley card currently at auction in REA is at $27,000

Another legendary rarity is the "Strongman" card from the 1935 Schutter-Johnson "I'm Going to Be" set. That set listed various occupations and the Strongman card was the near impossible card so that the company would not have to give away too many prizes. The only known "Strongman" card sold for $22,000 at REA in 2014.

Another legendary non-sport rarity is the "Cowboy Outfit" card from the 1933 Wild West Series. The card was intentionally short-printed so that manufacturer Gum Inc. would not have to give away too many complete cowboy outfits.

A raw "Cowboy Outfit" card sold $4,100 at REA in 2013.
