The real photo W cards may not have the colorful eye appeal of T206's, Caramels, Cracker Jacks and Goudeys - but they do offer a reduced price alternative.

For my $1000. I would rather have, say, a w502 Cobb in a PSA 6 over a PSA 3 Cobb T206. That is if you can find a nice w502 Cobb. You can always pick up that beater T206 Cobb.

Browsing the pop reports, looking at high end HOF'ers, W cards are in the single digit pops. Tougher than you think. Browsing ebay, can't help but notice about every week nice T206 Cobbs are listed, but very rare are the nice real photo W cards.

The herd mentality and set registries keep pushing up the T206 prices. Maybe demand will eventually spill over to nice W cards. But for now, keep pickin' up nice W cards while they are still affordable.
