I don't know what else to say. Are you suggesting Tom Seaver was as exciting to watch as Nolan Ryan? I don't think many people will agree. It's like saying Beethoven was better than the Beatles.

Ryan was a great pitcher no doubt. When he was on and could put the fastball on the corners he was virtually untouchable, but he never could do it consistently and frequently walked a ton of men and could be hit if you waited on him. Seaver, to me, is a very very top rank elite pitcher, Ryan a tier or two below.

Bingo! There have always been a lot of folks who considered Willie the best player ever...or, at least the second best. However, it's been several years since I've heard his name mentioned that way. Don't let the fact that he's not dealing with being old and deaf too well cloud your memories of exactly how great a player he was. By finishing his career as a mere shadow of the player he was...and, doing so in New York, may have put more emphasis on the end and not the peak of his career. You guys are comparing the value of the Seaver and Ryan RCs...well, there's a much bigger gap between Mantle's '52 non-RC and Mays's '52 Non-RC. Most of us can afford a Willie (mine is a PSA-6), but the Mantle in that grade or even a PSA-3 is way, way out of my league! =

Except for 66T where Mays is the #1 card, I believe in general Mantles sell for several times what Mayses sell for.

There are 9 billion Nolan Ryan rookie cards out there, but 8,999,999,999 of them are way off center.
