There's over 100 Babe Ruth RC's, and within that set, no difference in the amount of Babe vs the other cards. But, his RC has quadrupled in price this past year or two. I'm not comparing Babe's RC to Wagner's E98, but neither is rare or abundant. No one knows how collectors will view this set over time. I have a Blue PSA 4 Wagner & Orange SGC 55 Wagner that I would absolutely expect to bring a higher price than it's Red or Green Wagner counterparts found in the BSF. Maybe the prices come down on some, but you may find some that will increase as well due to the BSF.

Hi Pete,
I had not looked at the SGC pops before...so I just did.
Before I looked, I thought (as you did) that there might be a different story at SGC - but now I don't think so entirely.
Again, with Honus Wagner,
SGC pop report shows:
E98 - 52 graded, with 7 at a grade of NM 7 or better
'15 CJ - 50 graded, with 13 at a grade of NM 7 or better
M116 - 58 graded, with 1 at a grade of NM 7 or better
E93 - 63 graded, with 3 at a grade of NM 7 or better
E92 Dockman fielding - about 45 graded (tough to say exactly because some flips did not specify the pose)
With SGC, the only real standout difference I saw was with E95 - there are a lot more E95, but the huge bulk of them are low-grade.
E95 - 108 graded, with 2 at a grade of NM 7 - none higher (and 89 of the 108 were graded VG or lower!)
Cheers,
Blair
