Reading the question without taking a look at the pics of the two choices, being that I'm a pre war collector I would have figured hands down Honus would have been my pick.

In this instance though due to the heavy trim that's been done to the Wagner the 52 Mick would easily be my choice.

Theres just too much missing of this Honus for my liking and this particular Mantle would be too nice to pass up. Long term I think this Mick trumps that Honus. My two cents!

+1. I would add that i think both values are at considerable risk for different reasons. The Mantle because there are too many of them. The
Wagner because it’s rare but not THAT rare, and it’s an ugly example and buyers might not show up on a different regime. But maybe this state of excess dollars is here to stay and I will be wrong.

If someone said "I'll give you either one. Not both, you can have either one. And if you ever try to sell it, Johnny Two Times will pay you a little call." I would pick the Wagner. Not to say I don't like Mantle, I do. I just like Honus Wagner more. So it's not about card value, or speculation, just my personal likes only.
