I have always wondered what would happen to his card values if the shoeless one by some kind of miracle, which would send Judge Landis spinning in his grave (good place for him), got into the Hall of Fame.
I can see 2 scenarios playing out; first, many may gravitate even more intensely for Joe's cards now that justice (I guess) has been done and he has deservedly secured an enshrinement. Those in the hunt are now willing to pay more for his scant cards, or many may lose some interest now that the legend and mystique about Joe is gone, his role or not in the '19 WS fix really no longer matters and lose some interest in trying to secure any of his cards.
These are the things I ponder while looking at the ceiling at 3 a.m.
