With all the hoo ha over Minosos finally getting in the hall, where does Doby rank?

The pricing on their 1952 topps shows a large disparity. Minoso is now the 2nd most valuable card in the 1952 low series set under Mays. I always felt Doby and Minoso were similar in ability.


Curious thoughts on this and valuation of course!

I am very glad that I picked up a Minoso before his Hall of Fame bump. No plans on grading or selling it, as I'm (very passively) trying to build the 52 Topps set.

I think most of the value comes from the fact it's his "Rookie" where as Doby had some cards before them.

I love the 52 set, but the cards are becoming a bit too rich for my taste, and I'm not even speaking of the high numbers!
