I would think 52 Topps would be more sought after than 52 Bowman (or Red Man)?

Peter, thank you, my error. For some reason I was thinking he had a '51 Bowman rookie, like Mays and Mantle, but it is '52 Bowman he first shows up in. And in that regard, I agree with you that his '52 Topps rookie would likely take precedence over his '52 Bowman rookie. Brain cramp by me.

You may have been thinking of Irvin.

You may be right, but a definite brain cramp regardless.

Luckily I already have copies of both rookies, acquired years back.
