The disparity between the price of Mantle and Mays (and Aaron) cards is wholly unjustified in terms of onfield performance.

I would take Mays over Mantle. But for Hank Aaron, Aaron was very, very good, but the Mick was great. Aaron had outstanding longevity but never reached the same level of peak performance as Mays or Mantle and I wouldn't put him in the same class, especially since he was a corner outfielder and not a CF.

CY,
I couldn't agree more, Aaron was a great player, but as an owner, I would rather have Mays or Mantle. Peter, Yes, there is a disparity between Aaron and Mays/Mantle dispute, as far as onfield performance goes. But that is not how this industry, judges players entirely. It is also their personalities, their fan and media appeal. That raises their value, both as a player for your team and at your gate. If Ruth had Aaron's personality, he may have hit more home runs, but may be listed as just one of the best, instead of the best. It's what they do for the game, not just their stats.

I personally feel Mays is probably best to ever play the game so far. It's just odd that Mantle's card values are head and shoulders above Mays'.

Without changing any stats, move Mantle to Milwaukee and put Aaron in a Yankee uniform... then try to figure out who's under/over priced....
