I am pretty amazed when you look at pop reports for E104 (all variations) as compared to most of the other E or T sets, that their value/appeal isn't higher. Especially for cards like Plank or Wagner that share the classic T206 poses, but are more rare. I guess it's an example of popularity being as much if not far more influential than rarity in dictating values. T206 seems to have that perfect combo of being readily available, aiding its overall poplularity, leading to more collectors.. so when a card within that popular set is relatively rare with respect to the rest of the population (100 Wagners or Planks vs thousands of the more common cards), prices go through the roof.
All cards in E104 (and other similarly tough sets) are so scarce, it can only be collected by a relative few and thus demand stays low. I only have one E104, but hope to add a few more time... especially a Nadja back.
