Brian1961 -- Thanks for taking the time to write such a comprehensive response. Very interesting insights. Trying to figure out which McCovey you covet...
That video from National was really telling. Not to spend too much time on the modern cards, but judging from that (anecdotal) collector reaction, one can see a situation 50 years from now where there is almost zero interest in any of Mike Trout's or Miguel Cabrera's myriad rookie cards.

He studied both of the Yazes (is that the plural of Yaz?) and ended up putting one aside to purchase. The next card was McCovey and he didn't even hesitate as he whipped right by it. Gone in a flash. We have no context, of course, maybe he's a Yaz collector, but wow...no respect.

Well one anecdote is nice and all. Yaz had a better career than McCovey. Not by a lot - Yaz was more of a compiler. McCovey might have been a more fearsome hitter but Yaz was a better all around player. Plus he had ‘67. Their rookie cards and other cards from the 60s are priced accordingly. Over the years McCovey has actually closed the gap. Years ago his RC was worth a pittance compared to Yaz’s.
Anyway both great players and deserving first ballot HOFers. |

I think the 1960 Topps issue hurts the value of McCovey's rookie card. I think most fans consider him a great player and a name that they recognize.

Agreed, the 1960 card is not very attractive, the 61 on the other hand is a thing of beauty.
