Between a 1954 Topps Hank Aaron and a 1953 Topps Mickey Mantle, which card do you think is "more collectible" and/or has a wider appeal?
My initial reaction is to go with the Aaron because, well, it's the Hammer's rookie card. But on second thought, I think more people would say the Mantle because very few things trump Mickey Mantle when it comes to sports cards.
Your thoughts?

Wider Appeal = Mantle

Although i would go with the hank, If I had to go with Mick, I would rather have a higher grade 56 or other later year.
IMO the 53 loses its eye appeal in lower grades.
That or save up a little more and get a PSA 2 1951 ROOKIE
