Posted By: <b>Jeff Prizner</b><p>Just curious how many pre-war sets are out there that Ty Cobb appears in where he's NOT the most valuable card in the set.<br /><br />Obviously t206 (Wagner), e90-1 (Jackson) and the Cracker Jack sets (Jackson). Which others?

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>Off the top of my head, I can think of the following:<br /><br />1908 E102 Wagner Throwing<br />1909 T206 Wagner, Plank<br />1914 CJ Matty. Jackson<br />1916 M101 Ruth, Jackson<br />1916 E135 Ruth, Jackson<br />1921 E121, E122, Oxford, York, etc (basically any set with Ruth)<br /><br />There are several sets, where Wagner prices actually exceed Cobb prices, no matter what priceguides say.<br /><br />1910 E103 Wagner<br />1910 M116 Wagner<br /><br />Arguably, in many caramel sets, the price of Cobb and Wagner are almsot neck and neck. Wagner in a portrait pose like in the E103, M116, Colgans, etc always outsells Cobb.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Prizner</b><p>Do you think that's simply b/c collectors associate the other Wagner portrait cards with the t206?
