That meaning that if the card names a popular (or HOF) player and depicts a more common player it will always sell for more than the common but probably less than it would had it depicted the popular/HOF player...thus following MORE the value of the popular player than the common. The other way around could also work as well... say, a more common players card actually depicts a popular/HOF player it would also sell for far more than the common and more closely to what the more popular/HOF card would sell for (for example if a Yum Yum "Williamson" card actually depicted Anson--it would sell for far more than if it actually depicted Williamson.)

But what if the images are substituted in the same issue? Say the card labeled Anson actually pictures Williamson, and the card labeled Williamson actually pictured Anson. Which one is then the Anson card? It's always been my experience the card with the printed name/wrong image is the one that is refered to as that player's card. Guides will usually checklist it as Anson and footnote it "card actually depicts Ned Williamson."
