It is much rarer and is of the greatest player ever.

Disagree. The Baltimore News is too obscure. Most collectors don't know what it is. Similar to the M101-4/5. Neither are in collected sets. Cards like the t206 Wagner, 1952 Topps Mantle and 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan are much more popular and well known. Demand drives prices more than scarcity. The t206 Wagner was king in 1930. It is king today. It will be king in 2130.
