Good point. I was thinking the late series would have caught the 52 election but it would've still been too late.

Yes, you get instant hobby cred for owning one. You get nothing else for your bang for bucks: too much cash for instant caché. Sure, he's the undisputed hit king and that should command some kind of premium, he's notorious, and it IS his rookie if you buy into that sort of thing (I do on the latter when I'm selling, not buying). Those floating head cards are super fugly in an otherwise great looking set.

My father took this picture from a navy blimp that day.

This picture should have been on the cover of Time Magazine.
