I personally think it's because there is still something "foreign" about the WWG. They are definitely great cards. But the French writing makes it seem a little less "authentically American". And if I'm going to shell out over $1000 for a baseball card, I think it might bug me a little bit that it still seems like a foreign issue.
I definitely think that's the reason the Sanella cards are still relatively cheap...the German writing on the back makes them feel like less of a standard baseball card. Because the image on those is great.
