Are there occurrences where a particularly notable rarity of a card in one issue effects the value of the same player in another issue? |

I think subconsciously the mystique of these cards may have a minor effect, but Wagner was one of the greatest players in the history of the game and so his cards in other period sets are accurately valued at the top in every set in which he appears. They usually bring a bit less than Cobbs, but are appropriately priced with the other first teir hall of famers like Johnson, Mathewson, and Young. |

I woould say the rarity in one issue does not affect the price in another. Just look at the price of card #1 in numbered sets, huge prices, but Benny Benough does not go for a premium in any other set. |

but there seems to be a psychological thing where I'd be willing to pay a little more for a Honus Wagner than I would for another player at his level (not like there are many, mind you). For example, and here's an aspect of this I didn't touch upon before: |

Heck, I am guilty of it myself. I know I can never hope to own either T206 rarity, so I look to own the same pose from another set (e.g., M116, E cards, etc.). I think a lot of other T206 collectors do the same and I think this tends to drive the prices on their cards in some respects. The rarity of these cards also reduces by a large margin the typical pool of cards available for HOF collectors of the era. If Cobb was as rare as Wagner, how many hundreds of HOF collectors would be out of luck and would have to look elsewhere for a card? |

Lee, there is a reason that with Bengough cards. It has to do with the fact that he only appears in in the 33 Goudey and 33 WWG sets |

There are many oldtimers and noteworthy baseball historians who contend that Honus Wagner is much more than one of the top ballplayers of all time. They cite him as the top ballplayer of all time. |
