Glyn makes an excellent point with regard to items so rare and significant (it's Mantle!) that they hardly ever come up for sale or auction--you can usually throw the book away for these cards. Once they and their rarity become known, there's a huge amount of pent-up demand.
Re the "58 All-Star, yes, it is quite common, but if Bob Costas keeps putting them in his wallet unprotected until they wear out, maybe they won't be!
Happy collecting, guys,
