I'm not sure why Janowicz being valuable is so hard to understand.
The set is a set of College Football players, Janowicz was the best college player at that moment and won the Heisman Trophy in 1950. He was also an early 2 sport athlete and played for a highly popular school (Ohio State). All those things together make him somewhat valuable, even though his NFL and MLB careers were less than most expected.

Well.... just looking at SMR which admititly isn't a great indicator, in the PSA 5 grade, the card is more valuable than a 48 Leaf Steve Van Buren, Charlie Trippi, Bob Waterfield.... A 50 Bowman Joe Perry, Marion Motley, etc. So yeah, a bit surprising if the Heisman and Ohio State are the only explanations.

Don't quote SMR, John. PLEEASE. That thing is such a crock. If anybody believes it's accurate I've got some swamp land in FL to sell you. Stop, stop, stop using SMR. Whenever a dealer quotes SMR, I just walk away as they just demonstrated they either 1) don't know what they are doing or 2) are trying to take advantage of me. In either case, I'm moving on.
VCP has a PSA 5 average for Janowicz at $146. Van Buren Leaf PSA 5 is $214. I'm actually surprised its that close but realize it IS Janowicz's rookie card which gives it some value. The 1951 Topps set is sooo cheap because there isn't a single card besides Janowicz that raises an eyebrow. jeff
