As in: no one minding Mick's antics because while he could be an ass he was also nice to people. Whereas Mays.... I don't think that guy has smiled in 20 years, unless he was paid for it.

Musial was the nicest guy in the world, but his cards get no respect at all. Compare e.g. a 59-63 Musial with a 59-63 Mantle. Then look at the career numbers.

Aside from the popularity I think the stats that set Mantle apart from someone like Musial are the world series stats. 12 appearances. 7 wins. People and collectors remember championships. And champions.

That, plus the Yankee thing (which I guess is in part caught up in all those WS but in part is just a NY thing).

I feel Mantle is the Steve McQueen of baseball. Musial- Wally Beaver

Wally Beaver?! Is it happy hour? Musial is more of a Tom Hanks. He oozed talent, class, and humility. As for under valued cards I like the 1954 Johnston Cookie Aaron and the 1955 Topps Koufax.

@ poker if that was the 100% truth then Whitey fords card would be ridiculous . Which I also feel his 1951 Bowman card sell way to low .

Quote:
Mantle is a unique case as his popularity is far greater than his career stats. I was just saying the titles make a big difference and that's what people remember. Would Jordan still be viewed as the greatest without 6 titles? And just because Pippen also has 6 rings doesn't mean his cards should be anywhere close in value.
