I love the look of the 1953 Topps cards. The first three I chased were, in order, Paige, Robinson, and Mantle. When I tracked down the Mays, I didn\'t really feel any connection to it, even though the I like the pose. Mays\' scowl reminds me of Jay-Z\'s serious face on the Hard Knock Life album cover. If he had been flashing the 1954-56 smile during those fake fielding drills, it would\'ve been one of my favorite cards.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nHis 1952 Topps is an O.K. compromise between chaseability and aesthetics.

They are people like Ruth, Jordan, Gretzky who are iconic personalities.  Not coincidentally, they are the gold standard in their respective sports.  Then, on the other end of the spectrum are guys like Sherry Magee, who are hobby icons, and have zero cultural or even baseball resonance to anyone outside the hobby.  (Or this board!)  Then you have the rest of players between those goalposts.  <br />\n<br />\nMays will pass at some point relatively soon and the accolates will pour in that he was one of the great 3 or 4 baseball players of all time.  And people will argue that his cards aren\'t on the same level as Mantle because he wasn\'t smiling.  Or was rude at a card show?  Alrighty. . . . Go for it.<br />\n<br />\nI\'ve always figured that Mantle is huge because in the hobby because the snapshot of who has half a million or a million to spend on a piece of card board are men of a certain age who either saw him play or identified with him.  If he was your idol and you are a wealthy man I get it.  If you are 30 years old collecting Mantle I think morely likely than not you are investing.  And nothing wrong with that either.<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<div style="margin:20px; margin-top:5px; ">\r\n	<div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:2px">Quote:</div>\r\n	<table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="alt2" style="border:1px inset">\r\n			\r\n				<div>\r\n					Originally Posted by <strong>packs</strong>\r\n					<a href="showthread.php?p=2368667#post2368667" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="images/buttons/viewpost.gif" border="0" alt="View Post" /></a>\r\n				</div>\r\n				<div style="font-style:italic">This idea that you had to see someone play to appreciate them is bizarre especially when you consider that if you lived in, say, Philadelphia and grew up a Phillies fan in the 1950s you would have never seen Mantle play either.

They are people like Ruth, Jordan, Gretzky who are iconic personalities.  Not coincidentally, they are the gold standard in their respective sports.  Then, on the other end of the spectrum are guys like Sherry Magee, who are hobby icons, and have zero cultural or even baseball resonance to anyone outside the hobby.  (Or this board!)  Then you have the rest of players between those goalposts.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nMays will pass at some point relatively soon and the accolates will pour in that he was one of the great 3 or 4 baseball players of all time.  And people will argue that his cards aren\'t on the same level as Mantle because he wasn\'t smiling.  Or was rude at a card show?  Alrighty. . . . Go for it.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nI\'ve always figured that Mantle is huge because in the hobby because the snapshot of who has half a million or a million to spend on a piece of card board are men of a certain age who either saw him play or identified with him.  If he was your idol and you are a wealthy man I get it.  If you are 30 years old collecting Mantle I think morely likely than not you are investing.  And nothing wrong with that either.</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div><br />\r\nLook at the list you rattled off for greats of their sports: Ruth, Jordan and Gretzky. Ruth won 7 titles. Jordan won 6 titles. Gretzky won 4 Stanley Cups.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWillie Mays won a single World Series.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nMantle won 7 of them. I think that\'s probably why Mantle occupies his space. He is forever seen as a champion.

Joe D was a winner. Ted was not. If you ask me, that\'s why Joe D is the more popular player in the hobby.

I did not know Paul Simon had been inspired to use Mickey Mantle for the renown stanza / verse from Mrs. Robinson.  Ten years ago or so, I was musing about the song, and replaced DiMag with Mantle.  As I remember, it went something like this:<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWhere have you gone, Mickey Mantle?<br />\r\nOur nation turns its lonely eyes to you,<br />\r\nwoo woo woo.<br />\r\nWhat\'s that you say, Mrs. Robinson?<br />\r\nThe Mighty Mick has left and gone away<br />\r\nOy Vey,<br />\r\nOh woe.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nPaul Simon made his choice, and it worked.  However, I still wish I could have gone back in time, to try to convince him....<img src="forum/images/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" class="inlineimg" /><br />\r\n<br />\r\nIt\'s all good, Peter.

Younger collectors, for example, seem to put a lot of stock in WAR (more, in my opinion, than it merits, but that\'s a different discussion).  And Mantle can\'t really hold a candle to Mays or Aaron in WAR. So will they maintain Mantle\'s popularity/performance gap?</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>Yes, for the reasons I outlined. Also my post was about Mays vs Mantle and not Mantle vs Cobb. I don\'t really see Cobb having a place in the conversation. Mantle will always be more popular than Mays because Mantle was a winner. Him being a winner will never change so people\'s opinions about winners would need to be watered down, which I don\'t see happening.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=2368706" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 2368706 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_2368706_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">packs</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=386">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=386" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to packs</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=386" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by packs</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 2368706 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #2368706 -' + '->';

I really admire your beautiful 1953 Stahl-Meyer Franks Mickey Mantle.  You are quite right; any grade of this card higher than a 1.0 is pretty scarce, and yours looks low high-grade.  That says a lot for the typical appearance of this issue, doesn\'t it, Sam?  Considering this baby is an early Mantle card, pop 22 for anything past 1.0 is startling, when you really think about it.<br />\n<br />\nSam, I\'ve owned mine for a bit over 35 years, and I felt EXTREMELY FORTUNATE to win it then.  I\'m very happy to still own it.  For years, it\'s been an overlooked, underappreciated card.  Once PSA included it in their TOP 250 Sportscards of All Time, some collectors began to take more notice.  <br />\n<br />\nMost of the appreciation for Mantle centers on his 1952 Topps, and that is understandable.  Unfortunately, hobby writers found it too easy to just write about the easy, meaning the \'52 Topps.  Considering what Gem Mint and Mint examples have sold for in the last 2 years, the \'52 Topps Mick should continue to be written about.  Nevertheless, hobby writers should write about the beautiful, tougher to find Mantles.<br />\n<br />\nBack to the 1953 Stahl-Meyer Franks Mickey Mantle, I\'ll close with this.  Remember Mr. Mint Alan Rosen?  He\'s the dealer that engineered THE FIND of 1952 Topps high numbers, from whence came most all the highest graded \'52 Topps Mantles.  Well, I interviewed Rosen for my book on immediate post-war regional / food issues, and I asked him to compare a \'52 Topps Mantle to a \'53 Stahl-Meyer Franks Mantle.  Alan had nothing to gain or lose in the matter; it was just a straight question.  I have it on tape.  His answer will blow you away, as it did me.  Mr. Mint said:<br />\n<br />\n"But the Mantle, to me the \'52 Topps Mantle is sh** compared to a \'53 Stahl-Meyer. ... " (Never Cheaper By the Dozen, page 207)<br />\n<br />\nWell Sam, take care and continue to enjoy your Stahl-Meyer Mantle.

I really admire your beautiful 1953 Stahl-Meyer Franks Mickey Mantle.  You are quite right; any grade of this card higher than a 1.0 is pretty scarce, and yours looks low high-grade.  That says a lot for the typical appearance of this issue, doesn\'t it, Sam?  Considering this baby is an early Mantle card, pop 22 for anything past 1.0 is startling, when you really think about it.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nSam, I\'ve owned mine for a bit over 35 years, and I felt EXTREMELY FORTUNATE to win it then.  I\'m very happy to still own it.  For years, it\'s been an overlooked, underappreciated card.  Once PSA included it in their TOP 250 Sportscards of All Time, some collectors began to take more notice.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nMost of the appreciation for Mantle centers on his 1952 Topps, and that is understandable.  Unfortunately, hobby writers found it too easy to just write about the easy, meaning the \'52 Topps.  Considering what Gem Mint and Mint examples have sold for in the last 2 years, the \'52 Topps Mick should continue to be written about.  Nevertheless, hobby writers should write about the beautiful, tougher to find Mantles.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nBack to the 1953 Stahl-Meyer Franks Mickey Mantle, I\'ll close with this.  Remember Mr. Mint Alan Rosen?  He\'s the dealer that engineered THE FIND of 1952 Topps high numbers, from whence came most all the highest graded \'52 Topps Mantles.  Well, I interviewed Rosen for my book on immediate post-war regional / food issues, and I asked him to compare a \'52 Topps Mantle to a \'53 Stahl-Meyer Franks Mantle.  Alan had nothing to gain or lose in the matter; it was just a straight question.  I have it on tape.  His answer will blow you away, as it did me.  Mr. Mint said:<br />\r\n<br />\r\n"But the Mantle, to me the \'52 Topps Mantle is shit compared to a \'53 Stahl-Meyer. ... " (Never Cheaper By the Dozen, page 207)<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWell Sam, take care and continue to enjoy your Stahl-Meyer Mantle.  I used to own a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, and loved it, and I miss it.<img src="forum/images/smilies/frown.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Frown" class="inlineimg" /><br />\r\n<br />\r\n-' + '-' + '- Brian Powell</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>The Stahl-Meyer issue is one of Mantle\'s nicest cards, in my opinion. You cannot go wrong with it. The photo, they used, was used on a couple of Mantle\'s alternative issues such as Briggs Meats, and his Dan-Dee issue. On the subject of alternative issues, another one of Mantle\'s best looking card, in my opinion, is his 1954 Red Heart.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nI think the staying power that Mantle has, trumps pretty much every post-war player. Again, people have to realize he represents 1950\'s Americana. Those post war years, where the American dream was thriving. I think the thing that helps his mystique is the fact that he accomplished so much, but people still view him as one of the biggest "What If\'s?" due to his various injuries, and the fact that he put his body through hell, constantly boozing. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nOn the subject of other players overtaking him, I just don\'t see it. Yes Jackie\'s cultural significance in breaking the barrier was huge, I do think he will see an eventual bump, once Rachael passes away, as Jackie\'s always relevant name will receive even more publicity. But I still don\'t see him passing The Mick. Aaron and Mays both had better overall careers than Mickey, and even with the recent bumps Willie has gotten, neither are over taking him.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				<b><u>Successful Deals With:</u><br />\r\n</b><br />\r\ncharlietheexterminator, todeen, tonyo, Santo10fan<br />\r\nBocabirdman (5x), 8thEastVB, JCMTiger, Rjackson44<br />\r\nRepublicaninmass, 73toppsmann, quinnsryche (2x),<br />\r\nDonscards.\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / sig -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=2369698" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 2369698 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_2369698_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">Seven</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=628617">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=628617" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to Seven</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=628617" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by Seven</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 2369698 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #2369698 -' + '->';

When the hobby really exploded in the 80\'s, Mantle seemed friendly &amp; good natured at autograph signings and Mays...well, he had a different reputation. I\'m sure others will chime in with their experiences.

Those great memories had me wanting all the Mantle cards when I joined the work force.

I went quickly to collecting T206/Old Judge cards when I got money, so I don\'t have a huge collection of 50s-60s cards. However, my dad was a huge Mickey Mantle fan, so he was buying me Mantle cards as gifts for birthdays/Christmas almost as soon as I started collecting cards at 5-6 years old. I even bought a few on my own later on.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nMantle was in Cooperstown before I was even born, so I really missed his career, but I have more of his cards than anyone else from the 50s and 60s because of that connection.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nBTW, I clicked on this because I have a 1964 Mantle that has been untouched for at least 35 years that I got as a gift. Card is flawless looking. My dad bought it back then asking for the nicest condition Mantle the guy had, so it just happened to be a 1964 card. Just saw the price for a PSA 9 that just ended last week and now I\'ve been contemplating getting it graded.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				Please check out my books on baseball history.

But pre-pandemic, key early Mantle cards traded at 4x-5x of Mays cards in the same set/grade, and now they are often more like 2x (52 Topps very much excepted). I don\'t buy cards as investments, but if I did, I wouldn\'t see Mantles as the best place to put my money for this reason.</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>Except that Ruth, the T206 lineage as a whole and literally 20 other players who no one today saw play have all continued to appreciate.
