Great post AlaskanMade!

Most of your observations are spot on and shared by many that venture into vintage sports cards.

I have a young son and together we collect Pokemon and some other TCG sets and the two communities (TCG and Sports Cards) are similar in a lot of ways but also so different that they seem to be completely different worlds.

Miscut TCG cards are much like Coins & Stamps in that extreme errors are incredibly rare and also highly prized... that has never been the case with Sports Cards, although they are definitely getting more popular with sets like T206 probably indicating it as an area of sports cards that could see some serious growth in the future.

The 1952 Topps Mantle card is simply tradition, it has just always been a popular & prized card going back to the 1960-70's so it has maintained that mystique despite it not really deserving it imo.
