There have always been a lot of folks who considered Willie the best player ever...or, at least the second best.
However, it's been several years since I've heard his name mentioned that way.
Don't let the fact that he's not dealing with being old and deaf too well cloud your memories of exactly how great a player he was.
By finishing his career as a mere shadow of the player he was...and, doing so in New York, may have put more emphasis on the end and not the peak of his career.
You guys are comparing the value of the Seaver and Ryan RCs...well, there's a much bigger gap between Mantle's '52 non-RC and Mays's '52 Non-RC.
Most of us can afford a Willie (mine is a PSA-6), but the Mantle in that grade or even a PSA-3 is way, way out of my league!
