The Wagner card draws some initial interest to the T cards. In a way, that gets new collectors interested in prewar cards and they go on to discover E cards. But I think sometimes these new collectors just stay with the white border cards, their entry point.
I think that some of the folks that want to collect graded cards can find some T cards at grade levels the desire. Most E cards are worn a bit more than T cards, somewhat a result of many times going straight into the hands of kids at the point of acquisition, then on into the kids' pockets. Collecting E90-1s in slabs with 1's, 2's and A's on them isn't as fulfilling as collecting T206's with 4's, 5's and 6's on them. My point, I think that graded card collecting has slightly exacerbated the collectability of E cards.
