Don't get me wrong, I understand the economics of nostalgia and I get why Mantle stuff is valued the way most of it is - but I think most of it is grossly overvalued if you look at the other players that were also the big names of that era. Compare the Mantle-fever to what you pay for even really nice Stan Musial items, for example. But - it was anointed this way in the 1980's, and I see little hope of anything ever changing. In the meantime, it's nice to be a Cubs fan and pay in the neighborhood of $50 for nice 1950's cards of Ernie Banks instead of $300 or more if Mantle really was my guy.
