T210 Jackson or T206 Wagner

As with most hypothetical question threads, it seems like most people are ignoring the original post, which included "IF MONEY WERE NO OBJECT."

No financial discussion applies here, so all points made about auction results, etc. aren't really germane to the issue.

Take the money part out of the equation (I know this is impossible for some of you) and now decide which one you'd rather have IN YOUR COLLECTION.

This doesn't mean "Which one you rather have until you sold it to pay for your child's college tuition..." or "Which one is worth more..."

It also doesn't mean "Who was a better player..."

I believe Wagner was a much better player, but I'd much rather have the T210 Jackson. I've always wanted to own that Jackson or a Baltimore News Ruth, but never will. If money were no object, I'd own both...and no T206 Wagner. It is simply not a rare card.

Make me choose between an E107 Wagner and a T210 Jackson, well then I have to think about it (I'd still choose the Jackson). E107 Wagner vs. T206 is another no-brainer: E107.
