Default Our love with Wagner

Posted By: Bryan

1) Wagner was the best of his time. Until Cobb came around Wagner was the best player. His eight batting titles speak for themselves. Lajoie, Speaker, and Collins were all very good but not equal to Wagner. However I do believe cards from those three are undervalued.

2) There is a preceived scarcity when it comes to his cards. To the average collector (modern card collector) many believe that the T206 is Wagner's only card. Many people just do not know he has caramel cards (or what a caramel card is.)

3) The T206 is Wagner's only tobacco card. Sure you can find him on a T200 but he doesn't appear on a T201, T202, T204, T205, or T207. Most other big name players have a couple other tobacco cards. With that being said if you want a Wagner (and who doesn't) you have to buy a caramel card, thus pushing the price of the E cards up.
