If one and only one Honus Wagner… $10-15k budget

It absolutely is, but both are very short prints. PSA has 177 graded Cobbs but only 54 total Wagners, 17 throwing and 37 batting. SGC has graded 171 Cobbs and 76 Wagners, 30 throwing and 46 batting. Not sure where the e90-1 numbers come from on the big chart posted above, but I get a total of 348 Cobbs, 130 Wagners, 47 Throwing, and 83 batting.

I use Cobb as the point of comparison under the supposition that these cards would be graded at roughly the same rate. The combined Wagner total is behind EVERY HOF'er total(Combined totals in the case of someone like Keeler) So I would argue that both poses are brutally tough. with combined only about 35% of the total of a Cobb and less than 50% the total of most HOF'ers

kinda what i thought...thx for confirmation. Wonder why there re so fewer hanses than cobbs in similar issues????? Could it be related to the tobacco theory somehow???? Or lack of compensation???

Regarding the e90-1 POP, I may have calc'd wrong but when I ran this a couple mos ago, I saw 61 on PSA (44 batting, 17 throwing) and 80 on SGC (46 batting, 30 throwing, 4 not defined), for a total of 141 (90 batting, 47 throwing, 4 not defined). I love the Cobb comparison analysis, indeed points to fact that the e90-1 is a relatively very scarce issue and highly valuable.

Most our numbers are similar. I think I missed the 4 undefined, and my PSA number for batting is 7 lower than yours.

The T206 pose is so iconic but out of reach. I’ve always wanted an E90-2.

REA has some nice Wagners

The M116 Sporting Life Wagner for best portrait, the E94 George Close for best non-portrait card.
