That said, I agree that a Cobb w/Cobb back is cooler than the Wagner at this point.
The Wags and the '52 Mantle transcend the hobby. There are people that own them that don't collect cards. They own them because they are feathers in a cap, status symbols....and damn good investments so far.
Barely any, if any, other baseball cards do that.
