I wonder how long the Joe Jackson and Wagner run up is here to stay though. I agree that under current conditions, Wagner and Jackson are very difficult to collect.

But will it sustain itself? I find it hard to believe that anyone will continue to spend thousands of dollars on Tom Barker game cards. It has a nice image but is akin to a deck of playing cards and I think was appropriately priced in the past. Even the E91 Hans Wagner card is selling for thousands of dollars. But how much sense does it make to pay thousands for a card with a generic image? The Joe Jackson blanket also has a generic image and sells for a reasonable price still.

When I say generic image I mean the image on your Hans Wagner card is the exact same image on Joe Tinker's card, except the team names have been changed.
