Great topic! Love the discussion. My opinion is that Wagner would correlate with Cobb and no less than say Tris Speaker/Lajoie. When I think about Gettysburg Eddie, Mordecai Brown fits the profile exactly. He wouldn't quite be in the Matty/WoJo catagory but a good bit above Bender/Joss/Willis

Another interesting question is how much the Wagner would be worth if it were a card of a common player, rather than Wagner. Combined pop reports show about 500 graded examples of O'Hara and Demmitt (so maybe 300-400 if we account for crackouts and crossovers), and there are maybe 50 Wagners. So if O'Hara and Demmitt are about $3K in VG condition, where would that put a "common" Wagner? Maybe $10K? Or maybe even north of Magie, since there are more Magie errors than Wagners?

I realize that the existence of Wagner is what drives pricing for the entire set, so it's kind of an impossible hypothetical.

An iconic vintage set with the rarest card being a common - reminds me of the 1894 Mayo set on the football side - I wonder what the AH descriptions would be like - would they try to prop the player up? (John Dunlop is often referred to as the holy grail or some such hyperbole - it usually isn't explained that he wasn't one of the star players on his college team).

Would T206 be less popular if there weren't any really rare HOF cards? I would think more people may start the set if they knew they had a shot at finishing it, but maybe I'm way off.
