I don't know the exact numbers, but this should be close. Say there are 75 HOFers and 450 commons. if the HOFers average $150 each, initial cost is $11,250 and commons at $25 is $11,250 (this was pure dumb luck in that numbers matched, but great for this example). If you bought the commons and waited on the HOFers, let's say they go up 20% when you are ready to buy them all. At $180 each, they would cost you $13,500. Reverse it and see a 30% jump in commons to $32.50 and they will cost you $14,625.

Edited to add:

Didn't notice you mention of the Wagner. Honestly, if someone can afford a Wagner, they are not too worried about whether to buy commons or HOFers first.
