In a hot market like this people tend go after the big ticket cards first because they think they are saving money by buying them so they don't have to pay more later. While the raw dollar increase is greater on HOFers, the highest percent age increase is with the commons.

Example, you could have gotten a low grade Wagner for around $10k in 1982. High grade commons sold for $5-7. Today, that same Wagner would sell for $100k or so, while those same commons sell for well in excess of $100. So for the price of a Wagner, you could have bought around 2,000 commons and saw a much bigger return on your money. You can substitute any HOF and the ratios are about the same for any set
