This is true but by the same token what I'm getting at is that eventually I think the Goudey price will knock people out of the market for it. At that point, the WWG will climb because it will be momentarily cheaper to buy, right up until it matches price with Goudey.
A similar phenomenon is happening when it comes to the Bond Bread / Sports Thrills Jackie and the Leaf Jackie. The Leaf Jackie took off and the prices for the Bond Bread and Sports Thrills cards have risen exponentially since.
