A PSA-8 '51 would not be 'reachable' for more than a very few, but those folks would pass on the '52 and get a yacht instead...a very tripped-out yacht!

right but im talking cards from the same company...topps to topps...not bowman to topps....so are there any 1952 topps HOF card that a later card of any year in Topps is more expensive? I don think the 1953 Hoyt Wilhem or 54 Hoy will be more expensive than the 52..

Like is there a brooks robinson card in a later year thats more expensive to get in an 8 than any earlier year in which the POP for the new year is greater? Perhaps cards that qualify for this are great candidates to buy...

but can try with other years not just 1952..

The '67 Brooks & perhaps the '63 Killebrew. The Killer is tough to find in high grade.

A 1967 Topps Brooks in PSA-8 would probably cost more than most of the earlier Topps Brooks, and as you said, much lower quantity of the later card (in the high number series) caused this.

Right, however the Jackie in the 1955 topps , the later card has MORE quantity than the 1954 Topps yet it has sold for more in a psa 8. The 1955 goes for $2,000+ (and a recent auction of over $3000+ in that 1955 set break auction) while the 1954 hasnt touched $2000 yet for what i have seen. The POP is far less in 1954 in an PSA 8 than in 1955.

I would assume these earlier year cards that sell for less and have less POP than later year cards would be good cards to buy value wise. However i not sure if any others exist

Another possible reason for the 1955 Robinson having more 'market value' is that 1955 was THE year for Brooklyn Dodgers' Fans!
