Two quick anecdotes...
So one time a few years back I was in the office of a big baller, pitching for a project. Somehow we got around to our mutual love of baseball. I mentioned I collected cards. His response: "One day I'm going to get myself a 52 Mantle."
I was just in Las Vegas, at a restaurant bar with some friends. I had a picture of the 52 Mick on my phone, and some guys a few feet over warmly commented, "Hey! It's The Mick!" I asked them if they collected cards. One's response: "No, but I remember that card from when I was a kid. That's the famous one."
