the Legend of T206 Wagner
I think you have to seriously consider the impact of Wagner on collecting in general over the past 100 years. So many people got into card collecting because of the value component, which has always been accentuated by the Wagner card and its improbable value going back at least to the 1930s. My guess is we'd have a very very different looking hobby without the history and grandeur behind it...
It's like asking who would have been the best player if Ruth never played. The answer is, maybe we would have stopped watching baseball after 1919 without him.
