I agree with Josh that Hager deserved it, but one thing that needs to be pointed out in his favor was that in the early '90's, when the investment fever was at its peak and virtually every hobby writer was touting current rookies or, at best, the stars from no earlier than the '50's, Hager advocated the purchase of cards of far more rare and significant, pre-WWII, upper echelon hall-of-famers for those concerned with appreciation in value. I don't believe that there's any question that in general, history has proven him to have been right on in that respect.
