Reading threads like this is dangerous: I ended up pulling the trigger on a 1952 Topps after reading it!
 Bought the card, not the holder... I've had this one for years:

If it weren't for the duty and the exchange rate, I would have had to pay on it, I would have purchased it sometime ago.

I agree his cards seem like bargains right now. Here are a couple I picked up recently.
 I've also been doing a lot of reading and just finished his bio "Campy", written by Neil Lanctot (incidentally I'm currently reading his history of the negro leagues). Highly recommended.

Growing up in the NYC area in the 50's, you had to identify with the Giants, Dodgers or Yanks. I was a Brooklyn boy. While there were intense, spirited and often heated arguments about CF and Willie, Duke and the Mick, there was
as well one concerning the best NY catcher, Yogi or Campy (Wes Westrum of the Giants didn't make the cut.). While I will always be a Campy man, I would reluctantly give the nod to Yogi based on the stats and his incredible WS record. Of course, Roy's accident makes any comparison difficult.

I not familiar with todays Campy's rookie card cost. I acquired these two 1949 BOWMAN cards of him in 1991 for $100 and $200 (Slate version).
The Slate background version is quite tough to find, and usually sells for $400 - 500 (in Ex condition).  . .  TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 02-21-2021 at 01:46 PM. Reason: Corrected typo.

Well, I feel I should contribute since it was between this card and my Jennings for my avatar:
 And here’s a photo that is as close as you can probably get to pre-war for Campy (1942)...although he did play a few years prior to that:
