If you're looking at it as an investment, a good argument can be made that the 1952 Topps Mantle card is the most overrated of all cards. It's not very rare at all, just super-hyped. I believe the 1951 Bowman Mantle or the 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson are far better investments if that's what you're after. The same goes for 1951 Bowman and 1952 Topps cards of Willie Mays.

+1 Well said and I could not agree more.

The Gehrig is already at $198,000 plus vig, so 80% of my collection won't do it. More like my collection plus a quart of blood and a kidney.
