second year cards more valuable than rookies?

trying not to set boundaries, but you are entering into the realm of variants which i think negate it from being removed. plus there is a 91 stadium club, so i gotta leave it at this point...

Not sure if still true but there was a time when 92 Bowman Chipper Jones cost more than 91 Bowman.

As in Ghostbusters, crossing the streams is bad (comparing Bowmans to Topps, for example), and it makes it difficult to reasonably compare '48-'51 Bowmans to '51-'52 Topps. So if we shouldn't compare inter-company cards (and I basically agree with that), then we are left comparing intra-company cards. Which then also means that we will at times be comparing second cards to first cards and maybe not true 'rookie' cards. With that in mind, I think most if not all First/RC from the '51 Topps set would be less than those from the '52 set in similar condition.
