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!
