Set collectors help drive price and demand, sure, but there are many non-set collectors out there as well. Far more than there are either Wagners or Ruths out there. So the set collector dimension seems moot to me. One doesn't need to be building a Balt News set to want the first card of The Babe, just as one doesn't need to be building a T206 set to want a Wagner or other HOFer. I guess in absence of a crystal ball, only time will tell. And in the end, it will always be each individual collector's call based on his collection.
