Work your way towards it! A solid second print isn't too hard of a task.
That Mantle rookie would be such a great card to own. I've got several cards like that on my "list" so to speak. Like a Mike Schmidt RC - a totally attainable card, but it's not on my active radar.

I agree with your point though. There are certain pieces of collectibles that are always going to be *the* item, even if a market around them tanks. The stuff that can represent a hobby as an archetype are always going to be desirable. Action Comics #1 stuff.
