That was a really sweet Jackie 8 and a pretty average Mick 7, but still the appreciation of collectors for Jackie and other cultural icons is becoming more and more clear. I remember when I started collecting thinking: He never hit 20 HRs and was not even a great fielder. Not really seeing the Big Picture back then.
Later on I got some Minnie Minoso things, and as a Sox fan could appreciate what he did for the city and for Cuba, but still it took me a while to get past OPS+ and WAR.
