At least three reasons for my opinion. I'm forgetting a fourth.
1. The 52T Mantle has never been a rookie card, yet... And for DiMaggio, the WWG may now apparently be his equivalent to that.
2. As someone already mentioned, other 1936 issues are oversized.
3. This card is too iconic to lose sustained value based on such findings. (Yes, points one and three are pretty much the same thing! Wish I could remember the other factor I thought of last night.)
Its value naturally diminishes if handled with nacho fingers and one fails to deftly lick it off.
While I'm not comparing the two cards, if a stash of 10 (let's just say low grade) Wagners was discovered and they all hit the market simultaneously, it wouldn't dampen value in the slightest, would it? Maybe a little at the time of initial sale, but that would quickly fade afterward. Then again, maybe it wouldn't. The added attention from such a find might even increase value not too much down the road. It makes me wonder what would happen if ten PSA 10 52 Mantles were discovered/sold all at once. I'm sure both these scenarios have previously been discussed to death; I don't read through everything on the main page.)
