It is overrated, but it's also a card of one of the iconic figures of 1950's baseball. And even though it's a doubleprint, it's from one of the less available series of the decade, and from what's come to be regarded as The set of the 50's.
Great player, Great set From a highly romanticised era Plenty of mystique and stories about the set. Not rare, but fairly tough to find. Not common, but enough out there that it's not impossible in the eyes of the have it now crowd. And widely known, few cards are known well outside of collecting circles. All theose factors are seldom found in one card. The Wagner, maybe the Plank, 52T Mantle, maybe a couple others but I can't think of any right away. Yes, overrated as a card, but as an iconic pop culture item it's about right. Steve B
