My serious answer:
1) I believe that the Wagner batting and throwing poses sell for ballpark the same in the majority of the sets aside from E102 (E92 Dockman, Crofts, E101, E90). If one sells for more than the other at any given time in any of the non-102 sets, I think it is due to someone just preferring one pose over the other rather than something specific to rarity.
Regarding the E102 fielding, it is supposedly the last or one of the last cards people always need to finish off the e102 set. Andrew listed the 4 tough cards in the set which bring the total to 29 cards (even though the set is advertised as being a 25 card set). It may have to do with these cards being ugly, or perhaps being late editions to sell more product. We may never know. Something to consider is that if these cards were on a sheet, 29 is not easily divisble. 5x5=25. 4x7=28. etc.
2) I think that the batting/fielding wagner poses, in general, are a little surpressed because the front images are found in so many different sets. The portrait Wagner will always sell for a premium due to its t206 brother. Plus, all of the Wagner portrait cards are slightly different, from color background to cropping to size of card, etc.
ps - I think you got a good deal
