The 52 topps mantle has had quite a run lately...So why are there sooo many for sale right now on ebay...there are tons!!!!! I get that many are taking profits...but...isn't this. card that should bridge the gap with mantle as time goes by? Do people NOT want to hold this card?

I have a guess. This card, perhaps more so than the others you mentioned, has been purchased over the years as an investment by some, and not necessarily as a collectible (little emotional attachment to the card). So some of those who purchased it as an investment now see this as the time to cash out on that investment.
Obviously not the majority, but if, say 10% of t206 Cobb buyers purchase purely as an investment, while 30% of Mantle 311 buyers do the same, there would be many more Mantles up for sale when the market rises dramatically, as it has now. Again, just a guess.
