For me always a combo of factors involved
including an eye toward the future maintenance of value. I voted for the 52 Mantle over the Wagner. Here I am taking the Plank - there are currently 319 PSA 10 Jordan's with the possibility of new ones still out there. While I do think the 86 Fleer card will remain a greater iconic Jordan card than the 84 Star (Similar to 52 Topps Mantle Vs. 51 Bowman Rookie), with a population that large there is a lot greater possibility that this card swings wildly - are there 319 people willing to pay $160K+ for a PSA 10 Jordan? How about in 10 years? 79 PSA Plank's + another 10 SGC. A lot safer card imho. An interesting experiment would be to run a similar poll with a younger generation of collectors - I suspect it would turn out vastly different.
