1950 Bowman Jackie's do pretty well too.

Fair enough, but for the most part, a second year card is not a big deal in the hobby.

I think you're right.

I also think there's a bit of a sea change with buyers trading down to 2nd year cards. It seems like prices on a lot of those pieces have risen a bit more due to that trading down effect. "If I can't get the rookie because it's so bloody expensive, then I'll pick up the 2nd year card instead".

Not sure whether the trend will continue, but it seems to be a relatively recent phenomenon, particularly in light of prices going to the moon on a lot of 1st year issues.

I don't think it'll get to the level of every HOFer's second year card will rise, but for the cream of the crop I think it'll remain true.

For others, sometimes there's a card that's so striking it outsells rookies or any other card for that player. I'm thinking of a card like the 1953 Bowman of Pee Wee Reese. Or the 1941 Play Ball DiMaggio.

I think the phenomenon rears its head the most in basketball. Second year Jordans do well, as do the Bird and Magic cards. Mostly because their rookies are multiplayer. But still.

52T Jackie, 50B is not even close.
Does anyone care about 40PB Ted?
