Is Wagner now thought to be much better than Cobb? I used to collect the set, and still have a Cobb pastel, and was wanting to trade it in for an Audi SUV.

Rob, I was the winner of the M116 Cobb in REA's auction and felt I got it a good price. Subsequently, at this year's National I traded it for a PSA4 T206 Cobb bat off plus some cash off to complete the 4 poses. it is only in the past several years that Wags has outshone Tyrus, and I wonder with all the hype and publicity about his T206 in recent years if any Wags card bearing a like image will fetch big bucks. Think the E90-2 and Tip Top cards which have been on a roll. I would love the Sporting Life Wagner but it is now out of my range at current auction levels.
The only Wags cards held at the moment are his E92 Dockman, E95 and a trimmed, autographed Goudey Premium.
I have always found it interesting that the Ruth '48 Leaf sells for big bucks while Hans is very reasonable, if not cheap. Obviously, both are long past their playing days.
My Wags grail card is his E94.
