Roll-off effect of valuable cards

[ksabet]

Does a highly rare and expensive card of a player affect the value of their other cards?

Do Plank and Wagner cards get a boost because of the T206?

What about Bengough in sets other than '33 Goudey?

Lindstrom aside from US Caramel?

Pafko?

etc.

Side question: Who's cards have the highest value compared to their rarity?

'52 Topps Campos might be on the list

I always thought the t206 Magee went for higher then other commons because of its error twin. The Doyle goes for a premium.. because of its error twin.

So I'd say yes...

I say no. I don't think Plank's cards in other sets, for example, are any higher than you would expect for a 300 game winner. Wagner's cards are relatively expensive because he is on most lists one of the top 5 players of all time.

It seems like the rocketing sales prices for ruth rookie cards is driving up the price of other early ruth caramels.

I agree with Peter's statment.

I think what ksabet is trying to ultimately get at, is that some players become overrated overall due to a "KEY" card.. A star, suddenly is thought of as a superstar. And sometimes a guy that would otherwise be common can become a household name, or at the very least a semi-star. In either case it would cause the player's cards in general to be somewhat over-valued..

OR sometimes people chase these "grails" only to ultimately settle for the next best thing, which drives up the demand and prices for that card, and occasionally things can snowball from there, usually no more than a card or two removed from the original grail..

To an extent, I can agree with this theory..

The Doyle is fairly tough to come by - I checked the PSA pop report and it confirmed this.

Yes the Plank and Wagner receive a slight premium, Plank more so.

Wagner was a great player, and his value is slightly lower than Cobb usually, as it should be. Plank isnt found in too many sets, so that helps in the value department too.

No on Bengough, Lindstrom, Pafko, etc.
The R319 Benny Bengough is just as common as every other low # card.
its only got a premium in High Grade because the #1 card often received more wear when stored in number order, as many kids did back then.
as a player Benny sucked! ... way below average player, averaging 41 games a year, with 0 HRs in his career, and only total 108 RBIs

A side question for curiousity sake.Does anyone have Wagnerin their top 5 all-time?

I may agree on Pafko and Bengough but Lindstrom is a HOFer that I would have never known if not for the U.S. Caramel card.
