I'm a believer that had there been Tris speaker, Home Run Baker or Shoeless Joe portraits in the T206 set the Wagner would at a minimum have been at that level which is at Red Cobb or just a hair below. A lot of the appeal to the Red & Green Cobbs is that they are very good looking cards. Most of the great hitters in the set don't have great looking portraits. Wagner does. The Plank has the exact opposite problem. All the BIG Pitchers have great portrait cards. Cy Young, Matty, WoJo, Brown, Joss, Bender and Willis all have desirable portraits and the Plank would just blend in with the rest.
