I agree, I was referencing the WAR portion of the post. Doubt a whole lot the card buyers have a clue what the player's WAR is. Could be wrong.

I think it was referenced in an earlier post about the "iconic" nature of Clemente as opposed to Aaron. I also think the "Dying Young" portion of the equation cannot be overlooked as a major contributor to the value. It's the same thing that makes James Dean regarded as a better actor than he was and Kennedy as a President as well.
