That's an extremely important thing to consider. Certainly not the case with any other card. Even if it's one of the lowest grade copies, the Wagner still makes the news.

The Mantle card gets airplay if it's extremely high grade. The Wilt Chamberlain currently being discussed will, too. I've even seen the Peck & Snyder get a brief segment; must have been a slow news day. But these are all more isolated than how much buzz any Wagner card seems to receive.

Comic book collecting is certainly on par with our hobby in terms of popularity, yet not every single sale of Action Comics #1 gets news time. That seems to be reserved for only the really exceptional copies. A Wagner can look like it was put through the wash and run over by a truck and it still makes the cut for a news story.
